Career experts round on Jeremy Hunt’s remarks on ‘golf course’ over-50s

Those who want to work need guidance, support and flexible jobs, employment leaders tell MPs

MPs on the business, energy and industrial strategy committee were told that while millions of older people want to work, they often have long-term health conditions, care responsibilities, or are struggling to find a flexible job.
