AnnotationAge Concern has two reasons for interest in the work of the Women and Work Commission. First, the lifetime labour market opportunities for women have a direct impact on poverty among women pensioners. Second, its particular interest in the position of older women in the labour market: women over 50 face combined disadvantages associated with gender and age. This response covers: the pay gap between men and women; barriers faced by women in the labour market; progression in the workplace; risk factors for leaving work; barriers preventing retraining; barriers to education, careers guidance and skills; occupational segregation; and organisational practices that prevent more participation by women.
