Away from the cameras,【C4】______numbers of older people are staying in work. Since the start of the recession, the number of 16- to 24-year-olds in work has fallen by 597,000. Over the same【C5】______the number of workers over the age of 65 has increased by 240,000.

At small businesses【C20】______, keeping on older workers is cheaper and less risky than training replacements.
