Baby boomers 'pushed' into retirement despite wanting to work longer

19th July 2022

Retirement technology solutions provider Dunstan Thomas published its latest multimedia report bringing together its findings from a major nationwide study of UK Baby Boomers aged 58 to 75. The report includes market research, video interviews and analysis of findings from its nine month study of UK Baby Boomers' experiences leading up to and into full retirement.

It found that nearly half of Boomers are still working and many want to retire in their 70s. Dunstan Thomas said nearly half (44%) of UK Baby Boomers were still in paid work at the time of the study which took place earlier this year. Nearly three quarters (71%) of these working Boomers said they were planning to work on beyond state pension age (currently set at 66 for them). Working Boomers anticipate staying in paid work for an average of 4.3 years beyond state pension age. So, on average, they will be over 70 when they wish to retire, it added.
