| Annotation | This briefing report was commissioned by Age Concern England (ACE) on behalf of the BME Elders Forum. The aim is to provide an overview of the black and minority ethnic (BME) population in England and Wales focusing on specific characteristics - age, gender, geographical distribution, religion and informal carers. For the age 65+ BME population, the report also considers health status (including the incidence of diabetes). Projected future trends in the BME population are assessed for BME people aged 50-65. The report gives a breakdown of ethnic differences for the age 65+ population. The report has been compiled primarily using data from the Standard Tables from the 2001 Census. (RH). |
