across the country, with discrimination and bias from employers and recruiters often endemic. Over 1 million people aged 50+ across the UK want to work but are unemployed.</p> <p>This RSA event is in collaboration with the OECD to launch their new report, <i>Promoting Better Career Mobility for Longer Working Lives in the United Kingdom</i>. The report highlights the key challenges faced by older workers in the UK labour market and outlines essential public and employer policies that can facilitate career mobility at older ages.</p> <p>After a presentation on the report, our experts will convene to discuss the true cost of workplace ageism. The panel will feature <strong>Shruti Singh</strong>, Senior Economist, OECD; <strong>Simon Fanshawe OBE</strong>, Co-founder, Diversity by Design; <strong>Mike Mansfield, </strong>CEO, ProAge; <strong>Roisin Mackenzie</strong>, Chief People Officer, Saga; and <strong>Lucy Standing</strong><span>, Co-founder, Brave Starts</span> - and will explore how addressing ageism in the workplace could boost the UK鈥檚 economy by 拢9 billion annually鈥攁n essential step for the country's future prosperity.</p> <p>This event is held in association with the <a title="RSA Economy & Business Network on Circle - the RSA" href="https://community.thersa.org/c/economy-and-business-network/">RSA Economy & Business Network</a>.</p> <p><span>Join us at the RSA for a vital discussion on workplace ageism.</span></p> <p><b>Note: this event will take place at RSA House and will be live-streamed online - please ensure to register for the correct ticket type to avoid
