DWP State Pension: Low earners ‘more likely to work for longer due to rising age’

Combined, 65-year-olds are working an additional 1.8 million hours per week due to the latest increase in the state pension age from 65 to 66, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS).

The increase in the state pension age took place gradually between 2018 and 2020.
