| Annotation | Earlier research conducted as part of the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Growing Older (GO) Programme identified a range of forms of social exclusion faced by older people living in disadvantaged urban neighbourhoods. This report draws on research from the project, "Older people in deprived neighbourhoods: social exclusion and quality of life in older age", and also follows on from the Social Exclusion Unit's Breaking the Cycle series. It presents data from 32 in-depth interviews and 10 detailed case studies of people aged 60+ living in deprived areas of Liverpool, Manchester and the London Borough of Newham. The interviews were conducted in 2001/02, and explored issues such as older people's sense of well-being, experiences of daily life, perceptions of the local neighbourhood, the management of household finances, and social relationships. Appendices comprise case studies on individuals reporting a good quality of life and a poor quality of life. Implications for policy are discussed. (RH). |
