Part 2/7:
According to projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), by the 2060s, only 61.8% of those over 16 years old will be either working or actively seeking employment. This figure represents the lowest recorded workforce participation rate, shattering a decades-long trend where participation hovered between 62% and 63% since the 1970s. As the population ages and health-related inactivity rises, the decline in workforce participation is becoming increasingly alarming.
