Big increase in numbers working, with 2.3m in employment but number of retired people also increasing, rising to 658,000
The pace of the increase in female representation has slowed and is up just 1 per cent on 2016 to 56 per cent. In 1981 it was just 30 per cent.
The total number of retired people rose to 658,000 of them, a majority of them women, and the ageing population is likely one factor in the increased number of health sector workers with the total up 27 per cent to 270,000. That many would see the avoidance of a daily commute that takes 29 minutes on average and more than 50 minutes for those travelling by train, Dart or Bus is no great surprise, particularly given that there are substantially more people having leaving their homes before 7am.
