Want to understand our aging workforce? Look to the U.K.

By 2050, around a quarter of people in the U.K. will be 65 or
older — about ten years before the U.S. reaches that milestone.
For our ongoing “Age of Work” series, host Kai Ryssdal and ADP
chief economist Nela Richardson take a trip to across the pond to
understand how businesses and the government are preparing for an
aging population. Plus, hear how one Brit is navigating the job
market in his 60s, and check in on a London honey shop owner we
last spoke with during Brexit.
