One in four people will be older than 65 by 2033 and economists have warned that the ageing population will place a heavy burden on taxpayers unless more people work for longer.The state pension age is to rise to 67 by 2028.Ministers have warned that they have no idea when younger workers in their thirties will be able to retire.

　　Mr Willetts, who is accompanying David Cameron in India, urged workers older than 60 to give further education serious consideration.“There is certainly a pressure for continuing to get retrained and upskilled，” he said.“Higher education has an economic benefit in that if you stay up­to­date with knowledge and skills you will be more employable.”

　　Mr Willetts said a university course had “wider” benefits, making people more likely to lead healthy lives.“Education is such a good thing that it is not reserved for only younger people，” he said.“ There will be people of all ages who will want to study.There is great value in lifelong learning.” Under previous rules, students in England would get a loan to cover tuition fees only if they were younger than 54.

　　Latest figures showed that only 1,940 undergraduates starting courses last year were older than 60, out of a total of 552,240 students in Britain.Some 6,455 were aged between 50 and 60, according to the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
