Maurice Taylor, a 78 -year -old British, is a member of the elderly employment group. Since entering the workplace, Taylor has played two jobs.

Ten years ago, Taylor retired from the sales department. Earlier this year, he worked at the call center of taxis and courier companies. But six weeks later, he jumped to the national employment savings trust Nest to do customer service. Taylor's daily job in Nest is to help customers solve pensions. Taylor said that NEST working time is more suitable and salary is higher.

It is understood that the cost of life has made Taylor have to return to the workplace to work hard on the age of the old age. Taylor said that getting his salary again made him feel "more secure and not so disturbed".

It is understood that there are 1.47 million elderly people like Taylor in the UK. According to reports, with the rapid rise in living costs and the negative impact of inflation, the "retirement trend of retirement" has appeared in the UK, and many British elderly people forced their livelihood to return to the labor market again.

On August 16, local time, a data released by the British government showed that from March to June this year, the number of employees at the age of 65 and above in the UK increased by 173,000 in three months. During this period, the number of people's growth has promoted the change of employment positions, and the employment positions of people 16 to 64 have decreased by nearly 14,000.

In this regard, Jake Finny, an economist of PricewaterhouseCoopers, explained that the rising living expenses are eroding consumer wallets. Bank of England predicts that the inflation rate in the region will exceed 13%in October, and energy costs will also climb to more than 4,000 pounds next year. Fenny said: "The high inflation rate has led to some retired employees to return to work, and their financial conditions are becoming more tense due to rising prices. In addition, national pensions have increased their age, which has also led to a greater age. The workers stay in the labor market for a longer time. "

The latest data shows that nearly 12%of the population over 65 years of age is still working, which is 10.5%higher than the first quarter data. At the same time, this is also the largest number of elderly employment since recorded in 1992. In addition, people over the age of 65 have decreased by more than 167,000 people, down to the lowest level since the end of 2020. However, the UK's unemployment rate has risen slightly, which means that not all job seekers can find their favorite jobs.
