| Annotation | To what extent does exclusion reflect the influence of life course factors and/or the impact of old age, and why do some excluded older people report a good quality of life, and what are the policy implications of that? The authors sought to answer these questions with data from 32 interviews and 10 case studies of people aged 60+ in socially deprived neighbourhoods of Liverpool, Manchester and the London Borough of Newham. This article reports on findings from their study commissioned by the Social Exclusion Unit (SEU), and based on their previous research for the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Growing Older programme (GO). The article presents key findings of the research, with recommendations for ways in which the Government might better meet the needs of some of Britain's most disadvantaged people. (RH). |
