Away from the cameras,【C4】______numbers of older people are staying in work. Since the start of the recession, the number of 16- to 24-year-olds in work has fallen by 597,000. Over the same【C5】______the number of workers over the age of 65 has increased by 240,000.
The【C6】______of the British workforce dates back to around 2001,【C7】______when the proportion of older people working has nearly doubled. But it has【C8】______since the start of the recession. There are several【C9】______why. Happily, people are living longer and healthier lives, which makes staying in work less【C10】______than it was.【C11】______happily, low interest rates, a stagnant stock market and the end of many defined-benefit pension schemes make it a financial【C12】______And changing attitudes,【C13】______by rules against age discrimination, are making it easier than ever.

【C13】
选项
A、spurred
B、limited
C、confined
D、imposed
