A new report gives a snapshot of ageing today and in the future, focusing on the areas we know make a difference to people’s later lives.
The report from The Centre for Ageing Better is called: The State of Ageing in 2019: Adding Life to our Years asks: How prepared is society for our longer lives?
It uses publicly available data to give a snapshot of what life is like for people aged 65 and older today. It also investigates the prospects for people currently in their 50s and 60s
looking across four crucial areas: work and finances, housing, health and communities.
