	Full-time work		Part-time work		Not working
No. Migration	Males	Females	Males	Females	Males	Females
50–54 (N=3,062)	78.14	22.36	9.24	10.40	10.89	66.44
55–59 (N=2,690)	68.46	18.46	12.36	9.43	17.48	71.46
60–65 (N=2,110)	54.52	12.26	13.23	8.89	30.97	78.13
65–69 (N=1,661)	43.86	7.13	13.01	6.39	43.14	85.22
70+ (N=2,815)	23.98	4.34	12.74	3.90	61.78	90.83

Notes: Categories do not add up to 100 per cent because they include missing observations. Not working includes individuals that have never worked. Those that have never worked represent an important proportion for individuals with no migration spells: 15.4 per cent for the groups aged 50–54, 17.5 per cent for aged 55–59, 20.0 per cent for aged 60–65, 20.4 per cent for aged 65–69, and 22.9 per cent for aged 70 or older.
