Middle-aged women are by far the worst hit by the recession and spending cuts, according to new research.
As well as picking up family responsibilities at both ends of the age spectrum – children and elderly parents – and bearing the brunt of pension changes, middle-aged women are also suffering heavily from job losses, the research suggests. Figures from the House of Commons library extracted by Labour show unemployment among women aged 50 to 64 has risen by 39% in the last two years, compared with an overall rise of 5% among over-16s.
