Mims Davies – 2022 Comments on Older Workers

The comments made by Mims Davies, the Minister for Employment, on 4 July 2022.

Older workers are a huge asset to this country, and there are currently more than 400,000 over 50s in roles than before the pandemic.

We’re increasing funding and support at every step of their journey up the career ladder, to ensure everyone gets the support they need to get into work, progress and use their experience to boost their earnings and plan for a better future. Helping people find the security of a stable income, through a job they can take pride in, is also one of the best ways for people to support their families during these challenging times.
