Older workers who take courses to keep their skills uptodate will be more likely to keep their jobs，claims David Willetts，the higher education minister.He said the age limit on student loans to cover tuition fees had been lifted，making a degree course“great value”for older people.His comments followed a government report which found that the country's future economic success would depend on the skills and contributions of older workers. One in four people will be older than 65 by 2033 and economists have warned that the aging① population will place a heavy burden on taxpayers unless more people work for longer. The state pension② age is to rise to 67 by 2028.Ministers have warned that they have no idea when younger workers in their thirties will be able to retire. Mr Willetts，who is accompanying③ David Cameron in India，urged workers older than 60 to give further education serious consideration. “There is certainly a pressure for continuing to get retrained and upskilled，”he said.“Higher education has an economic benefit in that if you stay uptodate with knowledge and skills you will be more employable.” |
