The pandemic has affected the finances of many, including older workers and those retiring. According to the Institute of Fiscal Studies, a third of workers aged over 54 saw their income drop as a result of covid-19 and more than one in five have changed their retirement plans.

We'll have research looking at the financial decisions being taken by people retiring this year.
For the first time, economic abuse will be legally recognised within the Domestic Abuse Bill currently passing through the House of Lords.

With the return to 'work from home if you can' - many of us are likely to be in our home offices for the next six months.

Whether it's wearing pyjamas for meetings, sending emails from the bath, or taking long lunchtime naps, tell us what you've been getting up to 9 to 5. We'll be hearing confessions from some of our own voices here on Radio 4.
