Between 1990-2001 growth in female employment was 843,000 and growth in male employment was 33,000. By 2012 only a third of the workforce will be male and under 45. There are now 19 million over 50's in the UK which make up 40% of the population. the workforce will increase by 1 million workers between 200 and 2010, half of these will be ethnic minorities.
