| Annotation | The Taskforce, set up by the Ageing Population Panel, presents its thoughts on a wide range of daily living themes: home lifestyles (including technology and the "smarter home"), leisure and tourism, transport, and public space and buildings. This report sets out the demographic background, and points out why in 2020, older people will be playing a greater part in designing, and driving the market for products and services (by virtue of many having relatively large disposable incomes). The concept of "active ageing" is also seen as influencing "designing for inclusion". The closing date for comments on this discussion paper and on the main consultation document, "The age shift" is 15 September 2000. (RH). |
