Second, you might be interested to read the Charitable Aid Foundation's (CAF) report Growing up Giving, which explores the trend for the over-60s to be twice as likely to give to charity as the under-30s, asks what can be done about this, but also reveals that beneath the headline figure young people are very positive about charitable giving and the role which charities play.
Those interested can now read the Ready for Ageing? report for the 'parliamentary select committee on public service and demographic change', which explores the extent to which pensions, health, housing, social care and public services are geared up for the demographic 'bulge' now entering retirement. Interestingly it proposes ending what it calls the 'cliff edge retirement' scenario of stopping work and drawing a pension at a fixed point, recommending that people be allowed to continue to work flexibly into retirement and defer drawing on their pensions. It also claims that allowing older people to continue to work beyond the traditional retirement point will not disadvantage younger generations since a larger pool of older workers will 'create its own demand'. What do you think? Take a look at the report for yourself.
