Demographic Shifts and Economic Resilience

By 2050, around a quarter of people in the U.K. will be 65 or older — about ten years before the U.S. reaches that milestone.

Plus, hear how one Brit is navigating the job market in his 60s, and check in on a London honey shop owner we last spoke with during Brexit.
