[Over-50s looking for work should
consider delivering takeaways and other
flexible jobs typically occupied by
younger people, the work and
pensions secretary has said.

Mel Stride made the comments during
a visit to the London headquarters
of the food delivery firm Deliveroo,
which has recorded a 62% increase
in riders aged over 50 since 2021.

In an interview with the Times during
the visit, Stride said these flexible jobs
offered “great opportunities” and that
it was “good for people to consider options
they might not have otherwise thought of”.]
