Making Workplaces Work for Everyone.

Centre for Ageing Better; 2026.

[Disabled older workers and people with long-term health conditions continue to face significant barriers in the labour market.

The findings here highlight both areas of consensus and barriers to implementation, and help inform practical action to improve working conditions.]
