New blog from @theifs.bsky.social suggesting that women who worked longer (because of higher state pension age) generally benefited from lower levels of cognitive decline. Those who did more physical jobs also benefited in terms of physical health, but the opposite was true for more sedentary jobs:
Working in your 60s: a way to stay young for some | Institute for Fiscal Studies
On average, women who remained in work for longer following increases in the state pension age saw improved cognition and less physical disability.

Lots of UK #housing news to digest at a time when nearly one in five 25-34 year olds are living in their parental home; notably, growing reliance on ‘the hotel of mum and dad’ is associated with ‘increased reported experience of ill health’ in this age cohort.
📊#IFSSatStat: The share of young adults living with their parents in the UK has increased since 2006, especially for those in their mid-to-late twenties.
43% of 25-year-olds were living with their parents in 2023–24, up from 29% in 2006–07.

Around 1 in 5 people aged 25-34 live with a parent. This is up from less than 1 in 8 in the mid-2000s.
The “Hotel of Mum and Dad” has become more popular but why? And who is benefitting from or giving intergenerational support in this way?

Provocative read from @tom-clark.bsky.social referencing some of our @theifs.bsky.social findings.
Key for a government aiming to expand opportunity to keep wealth in mind:
Wealth transfers are a growing part of lifetime income and high house prices will shape who lives and works where.

Big Wealth is killing opportunity; eg
- under-40s raised in rented homes now less than half as likely to own as their counterparts whose parents owned
- being from a "top 1% wealth" family now has more bearing on who makes the elite (defined as in Who's Who) than a generation ago
