New data shows a significant number of Kiwis are working past the retirement age.

A new report from Stats NZ shows there are almost 200,000 New Zealanders aged 65 or older that are still in the workforce.

This research also reveals at least 1200 Kiwis in their 90's are still working.

Financial adviser Martin Hawes says many of these people will need the extra money - and plenty are just used to working.
