The Wellbeing, Health, Retirement and the Lifecourse project (WHERL) is pleased to invite you to an event to disseminate current research findings
VENUE: Prudential, Governor's House, Laurence Pountney Hill, London, EC4R 0HH
DATE: Wednesday 13th April 2016-2.45pm-5.30pm
WHERL is a three-year academic research project led by the Institute of Gerontology at King's College London in partnership with 5 other institutions.
The project examines a crucial question for ageing societies: how inequalities across the life course relate to paid work in later life in the UK.
This issue is of growing importance since the UK, in common with many other governments across the world, is rapidly extending the working lives of older adults through the postponement of State Pension Age (SPA) and other measures. We need to understand the lifelong drivers affecting the complex relationship between paid work in later life, health and wellbeing.
