Life Stories

The lives behind work and income

Life Stories brings together people’s experiences of paid work, unpaid care and retirement. These accounts help us understand how people make a living throughout their lives, and how pensions and other sources of support shape life after paid work.

Read individual stories, follow their work and care histories, or explore questions shared across different lives.
