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.

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] 【C6】
