The document summarizes findings from research conducted by the International Longevity Centre-UK on labor force participation among older individuals. It notes that there is a substantial drop-off in labor force participation between ages 53 to 67 and that the underlying causes of leaving the workforce for those over 50 include long work hours, ill health, and early retirement. The research also aims to identify "the missing million" who leave the workforce between these ages.
