Last Friday was the final day that employers in the UK could force workers to quit just for being 65. Prior to April 2011, employers could give workers between six and 12 months' notice of intention to force them to retire. The abolishment of the Default Retirement Age (DRA) means the choice of when to stop working has been put in the hands of older workers themselves. For those who want to keep working past 65, this is a positive development.
