Barriers & facilitators to extended working life : a focus on a predominately female ageing workforce
Many countries are reforming their pension systems so people stay in work for longer
to improve the long-term sustainability of public finances to support an increasing older
population. This research aimed to explore the factors that enable or inhibit people to extend
working life (EWL) in a large UK based retail organisation. Semi-structured interviews were
carried out with a purposive sample (n=30): 15 employees aged ≥ 60 and 15 supervisors
supporting these employees. Older workers were predominately female, reflecting the gender
profile of the older workers in the organisation. Older workers and supervisors reported that
key facilitators to EWL were: good health, the perception that older workers are of value;
flexibility and choice; the need for an ongoing conversation across the life-course; the social
and community aspect of work as a facilitator to EWL; and, the financial necessity to EWL.
Perceived barriers to EWL included poor health, negative impacts of work on health, and a
lack of respect and support

Z2 peak of noise correlations in a quantum spin Hall insulator
We investigate the current noise correlations at a quantum point contact in a
quantum spin Hall structure, focusing on the effect of a weak magnetic field in
the presence of disorder. For the case of two equally biased terminals we
discover a robust peak: the noise correlations vanish at and are
negative for . We find that the character of this peak is
intimately related to the interplay between time reversal symmetry and the
helical nature of the edge states and call it the Z2 peak.Comment: 4+epsilon pages, 3 figure
