An exodus of rich professionals from jobs is driving Britain’s crisis of low participation in the labour market, according to new research that lays bare the challenge of plugging widespread worker shortages.

The Resolution Foundation found that a jump in people taking early retirement disproportionately comes from highly-paid workers over age 50, making it more difficult to persuade the group to return to work.

“We need to reboot progress on getting people into work, but we’re not going to achieve it by persuading the recent Covid cohort of older workers to ‘unretire’,” said Louise Murphy, economist at the Resolution Foundation. Two-thirds of the older professionals that left the labour market own their house outright, making it harder to persuade them to take up a job, it said. In contrast, the foundation said that in lower paid occupations, the numbers moving from employment into retirement are falling as soaring inflation triggers the tightest squeeze on living standards in generations.

The problem will be worsened by the number of people aged 65 and over rising by 2.5 million from 2020 to 2030 as the population ages.

Business Maverick: Northern Ireland Enjoys a Brexit Dividend — But for How Long?The UK government has never been happy with Northern Ireland’s post-Brexit status. Boris Johnson’s divorce deal with the European Union handed Northern Ireland an advantage — keeping one foot in the bloc’s single market and the other in Britain’s — that has paid economic dividends, if not political ones. It is the only part of the UK outside of London that has fully recovered output lost to the coronavirus pandemic.
