Did you know that research tells us that multi-generational teams are more productive and innovative?
Older workers bring incredible value to workplaces, yet one in three people aged over 50 believe they have been turned down for a job because of their age.

Getting older can have its challenges. Being treated negatively because of your age should never be one of them.
We know that once we're over 50 this experience is common. Every area of our life is affected - work, health, friendships and more.
But it doesn't have to be this way.

Our bold common sense tax plans would reduce the tax burden on hardworking Scots and give them more freedom over the money they earn.
