11. What are the issues? Task
Many retired people still work part time. 25% of B and Q staff are over 55. They will not have to pay national insurance. They are also able to work more flexibly and transfer prior skills to the work environment
Many companies try to service the “grey pound.” These are businesses to cater to the needs of the elderly, there are elderly travel companies, and areas that are known for being good for the elderly economy.
Health care companies see the elderly as an opportunity e.g. Bupa health care, care homes and boots
Pension funds are used to invest in a range of different companies. This is a valuable source of money
Many elderly people rely on a small pension. They will become particularly vulnerable to fuel prices along with inflation
Old People are expensive to care for. People are living longer with diseases that may have in the future killed them.
There is a need for more housing for the elderly. This may be in the form of retired housing or sheltered accommodation
In 200o there were 3.7 people in work for every 65+. This will fall to 2.1 by Overall this means less money for the government to provide pensions for the population
