A recent BBC documentary, "The Town That Never Retired", sought to show the effects of【C1】________ the state pension age by putting retirees back to work. Although the results were entertaining, they need not have【C2】________. Away from the cameras, unprecedented numbers of older people are staying in work. Since the start of the recession, the number of 16- to 24-year-olds in work has fallen by 597,000. Over the same【C3】________ the number of workers over the age of 65 has increased by 240,000.
The graying of the British workforce dates back to around 2001,【C4】________ when the proportion of older people working has nearly doubled. But it has accelerated since the start of the recession. There are several【C5】________ why. Happily, people are living longer and healthier lives, which makes staying in work less discouraging than it was. Less happily, low interest rates, a stagnant stock market and the end of many defined-benefit pension schemes make it a financial【C6】________. And changing attitudes, spurred by rules against age discrimination, are making it easier than ever.
Most older workers are simply【C7】________ at the office: 63% of workers over state pension age have been with their employer for more than ten years. Over two-thirds of them work part-time, mostly doing jobs that they once【C8】________ full-time. A big advantage is that they do not pay national insurance contributions—effectively a second income tax on younger workers.
According to Stephen McNair, director of the Centre for Research into the Older Workforce, this【C9】________ explains why older workers have not suffered so much in the slump. Instead of reducing the workforce, as in previous recessions, many firms have【C10】________ recruitment and cut working hours. At small businesses in particular, keeping on older workers is cheaper and less risky than training replacements. [br] 【C8】
选项
答案
I
解析
空格应填入动词,作定语从句的谓语,跟先行词jobs存在逻辑上的动宾关系。该动词由full-time修饰,根据常识,他们现在兼职的就是以前的全职工作,词库中的performed符合要求。
