Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether his Department's review on workforce participation will assess whether future cohorts of older workers will retire earlier in greater numbers.

The review will identify and understand the barriers preventing people from joining the workforce and/or resulting in people leaving the workforce early. Early retirees are a key focus of the review.

This review will build on the government’s existing package of support to help older workers to start, stay and succeed in work.
