A poll conducted by HSBC found that more than half of the 2,000 workers questioned believed they would not stop working once they hit retirement age.

While some workers were planning on working longer in order to ensure sufficient funds were available when they did eventually retire, some intended to continue working to develop new skills and pursue careers they had always wanted.

David Wells, head of pensions at HSBC, said: "Many it seems are doing this to fill a shortfall in retirement income, but equally many are looking to embrace new skills and challenges."
