LONDON, ENGLAND, March 04, 2011 (Press-News.org) According to figures from the latest Prudential Class of 2011 research, 62% of those who had planned to retire in 2011 would consider postponing their pension and continuing to work in order to boost their retirement income.
Of those considering putting off their retirement, 46% said they will definitely have to continue to work in order to supplement their pensions or build up their savings further.
Prudential's Class of 2011 study surveyed people intending to retire during the forthcoming year. The findings highlight the growing trend for part-retirement in the UK as pensioners face up to the reality of funding a far longer period of retirement.
Of those initially intending to retire in 2011 but now planning to continue working, 53% said they would like to stay with their current employer - either working part-time or full-time - while 11% plan to seek part-time work with a new employer.
The survey results also show that 32% of those due to retire in 2011 would consider working for up to another two years if it guaranteed them greater retirement income.
22% reported they would work for another two to five years, while 8% would be prepared to work for five to 10 years to boost their retirement pot.
Vince Smith-Hughes of Prudential said: "The only realistic option for people who want to avoid having to continue to work beyond the traditional retirement age, is to save more and to start saving earlier. Seeking advice from a financial adviser should be a prerequisite to ensuring you achieve the level of pension income you want and need.
"Since 2007 studies by Prudential have identified part-retirement as a growing trend - a trend that looks set to continue in 2011. This year will see the phasing out of the default retirement age, making it easier for those wishing to stay on at work. Additional retirement income is also becoming more important as the security of a defined benefit pension scheme disappears for many people.
Prudential's research also showed that 19% of those planning to retire this year are not willing to work any longer, even if that decision means they will struggle financially in years to come. Only 12% of the Class of 2011 reported that they have ruled out working beyond their planned retirement because they feel that they have already saved enough for a comfortable retirement.
The number of new pensioners considering working beyond their planned retirement age in 2011 (62%) has increased since last year when 57% of those questioned said that they would consider continuing to work in return for a higher retirement income.

Scripps Research study points to liver, not brain, as origin of Alzheimer's plaques
2011-03-04
LA JOLLA, CA – March 3, 2011 – Unexpected results from a Scripps Research Institute and ModGene, LLC study could completely alter scientists' ideas about Alzheimer's disease—pointing to the liver instead of the brain as the source of the "amyloid" that deposits as brain plaques associated with this devastating condition. The findings could offer a relatively simple approach for Alzheimer's prevention and treatment.
The study was published online today in The Journal of Neuroscience Research.
In the study, the scientists used a mouse model for Alzheimer's disease to ...

Solving the puzzle of Henry VIII
2011-03-04
DALLAS (SMU) – Blood group incompatibility between Henry VIII and his wives could have driven the Tudor king's reproductive woes, and a genetic condition related to his suspected blood group could also explain Henry's dramatic mid-life transformation into a physically and mentally-impaired tyrant who executed two of his wives.
Research conducted by bioarchaeologist Catrina Banks Whitley while she was a graduate student at SMU (Southern Methodist University) and anthropologist Kyra Kramer shows that the numerous miscarriages suffered by Henry's wives could be explained ...

Oldest objects in solar system indicate a turbulent beginning
2011-03-04
LIVERMORE, Calif. – Scientists have found that calcium, aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs), some of the oldest objects in the solar system, formed far away from our sun and then later fell back into the mid-plane of the solar system.
The findings may lead to a greater understanding of how our solar system and possibly other solar systems formed and evolved.
CAIs, roughly millimeter- to centimeter in size, are believed to have formed very early in the evolution of the solar system and had contact with nebular gas, either as solid condensates or as molten droplets. Relative ...
Soot packs a punch on Tibetan Plateau's climate
2011-03-04
RICHLAND, Wash. – In some cases, soot – the fine, black carbon silt that is released from stoves, cars and manufacturing plants – can pack more of a climatic punch than greenhouse gases, according to a paper published in the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics.
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, the University of Michigan and NOAA found that soot landing on snow on the massive Tibetan Plateau can do more to alter snowmelt and monsoon weather patterns in Asia than carbon dioxide and soot in the air. Soot on snow causes ...
