| Annotation | The objective of the Lloyds TSB Forum is to stimulate serious debate about a range of business, economic and social issues of national and international importance. The title, "a modest proposal", refers to a satirical essay by Jonathan Swift. In this lecture, the chairman of the Royal Commission on Long Term Care for the Elderly explains that the demographic background to that investigation is also a problem for every developed country: there is a significant increase in the number of those living beyond retirement age. He comments on Government and otHer reaction to the Royal Commission's report. He concludes with some thoughts about the values people generally and older people in particular attach to the "third age". (RH). |
