| Annotation | The link between growing old and declining income is well documented. But there are other factors that can increase older people's poverty and feelings of social exclusion that are less well documented. First, ethnicity is examined in two reviews: "Ethnic inequality in later life: variation in financial circumstances by gender and ethnic group" by Jay Ginn and Sarah Arber (in: Education and Ageing, 2000); and "Health and social care needs in minority communities" by Ken Blakemore (in: Health and Social Care in the Community, 2000). A second cause of inequality is discussed in the Audit Commission's "Charging with care", which notes disparities in local authorities' levels of charging for services. Disability, another reason for exclusion, is discussed in "Losing sight in Ryedale: routes to rehabilitation" by J Crookes and colleagues (1999). Other examples of social exclusion discussed are the older homeless, prisoners, and consequences of elder abuse. (RH). |
