A recent study reveals that people who remain in employment at an older age have twice the chance of living longer that those who retire early. The research coincided with the life-expectancy figures which estimated that boys born in the UK in 2006 could live to be 86 years old, three years older than the government actuary’s department predicted in 2005. Since people are now living longer, the advice from all charities that specialise in health and retirement is a consistent message, which can be summed up as ‘Use it or lose it’.
This training activity prompts participants to look at some of the proven strategies which exist to help people achieve a happy, healthy, productive and well-balanced retirement. The training activity is designed to stand on its own, or it could also be delivered after the activity ‘Thinking ahead to retirement’.
