Redundancies among the over-50s have soared in the past year, leading to calls for targeted support for the age group, says a new report.

There were 107,000 over-50s made redundant between last November and January 2021 – an increase of more than 70,500 or 195% year on year, a study suggested.

Redundancy levels in the UK have fallen from their peak, but has been slowest amongst the over-50s, said Rest Less, which gives advice and help to older people.

The redundancy rate of over-50-year-olds is now higher than all other age groups at 12.8 per 1,000 employees, said the report. MINZY Girl That’s What I Do I Garden I Drink and I Know Things Poster

Rest Less said its study also found there were an estimated 1.3 million over-50s on furlough at the end of February 2021 – 28% of the total furloughed workforce of 4.65 million.

Stuart Lewis, founder of Rest Less, said: “With an estimated 1.3 million workers over the age of 50 still on furlough, there is a very real danger of a tsunami of redundancies amongst workers in their 50s and 60s when struggling employers are required to increase their contribution to the furlough scheme from July.

“This is of concern to all of us, as previous research has shown that once unemployed, workers over the age of 50 are two and a half times more likely to drift into long term unemployment than their younger counterparts due to a mix of age discrimination in the recruitment process and a lack of accessibility to tailored retraining programmes.”
