| Annotation | The author discovers more about the UK's ageing population in this brief article on demographic change in the United Kingdom's population, as found in the 2001 Census. The comparison is made with the 1951 Census when there were 0.2 million people aged 85 and over, which by Census Day 2001 had risen to over 1.1 million. The article also provides a statistical snapshot of the "UK's elderly hot spots". (KJ/RH). |
