文字稿
The proportion of women who don’t stop working until past 70 has grown from one in 20 four years ago to more than one in 10 last year. It’s doubled. There are still more men than women working into their 70s, but what stands out is the dramatic increase in the number of women and at least part of the reason for that is money.
四年前，每二十名英國女性中會有一位直到年過70歲才停止工作，該比率已在去年增至高於一比十，翻瞭一翻。雖然持續工作到70歲以上的男性仍多於女性，但引人註意的是這類女性比例的急劇增長，而導致該現象的部分原因是對錢的需求。
