25 to 49 year-olds 'less impacted by financial crisis' says PwC

by Accountancy Age

14 Jul 2009

People aged between 25 and 49 will be less impacted by the financial crisis because they will be shielded from adverse changes in employment and household income relative to other age grouops, research by PricewaterhouseCoopers shows.

Unemployment has been on the rise since the end of 2008, but the 18-24 age group has been predominantly affected. This group also experienced the largest increase in redundancies to April 2009.

Older age groups have also been adversely affected compared to 25-49s since the onset of the financial crisis, B Daily reported. Lower interest rates have reduced incomes for older savers, who are also most sensitive to falling equity and house prices.
