Nearly a third (31 per cent) of 58-75 year olds want to work beyond the state pension age of 66, a Dunstan Thomas report has revealed.

Of those still working, 71 per cent plan to continue to do so beyond state pension age, a 15 per cent increase since Dunstan Thomas' previous survey in 2017. The 2022 report found that of those working, 24 per cent wanted to stay, or were already remaining, in paid full-time work and 47 per cent in paid part-time roles beyond age 66.

According to the Exploring Baby Boomers’ Lengthening Journey to Retirement report, the average length of time the working Boomers surveyed wished to continue working beyond state pension age was 4.3 years, bringing their expected retirement to 70.3 years old.
