| Annotation | There are now nearly a quarter of a million individuals aged 60 and over belonging to ethnic minority groups living in Britain. As they continue to age, information regarding their circumstances in later life will be of increasing importance for the development of appropriate services and policy. Analysis in this paper is based on all 12,368 ethnic minority respondents out of some 140,000 from the General Household Survey (GHS) over a 6 year period (1991-1996). Differences are investigated of ethnic minority older people's household living arrangements, lifestyle, socio-economic status, economic resources, and experience of multiple deprivation in later life. The findings indicate significant differences both between and within ethnic minority groups in access to material and social resources, which need to be taken into account by policy makers and planners. Research for this article forms part of the work of the ESRC Research Group on Simulating Social Policy for an Ageing Society (SAGE). (RH). |
