Ministers call for businesses' views on default retirement age
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is asking businesses for their views on the default retirement age, which it will use when the law is reviewed in 2010.
In particular, the DWP is looking for evidence from businesses on the reasons why firms use mandatory retirement ages, the impact on businesses of scrapping the default retirement age and how any costs of getting rid of the default age could be mitigated. The deadline for submissions is 1 February 2010.
