Helen Morrissey, senior pensions and retirement analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: “Leaving the workforce early can have an enormous effect on someone’s financial resilience in retirement as well as their physical and mental wellbeing.”

“They tend to have poorer health, lower well-being, live in deprived areas and have lower or no qualifications”, the ONS report said.
