| Annotation | The SWOOP project is principally funded by the EQUAL Community Initiative Programme of the European Union (EU) and the South West of England Regional Development Agency. This report draws on official statistics to illustrate key characteristics and trends around the themes of demographic ageing and older workers in the South West. First, it uses population estimates to describe how the region's population age structure has changed in the past and is likely to change in the future. Second, facts and figures on the region's older workers are presented in relation to the Government strategy for older people, "Opportunity age" and its 'pillars' of activity: increasing the post-50 employment rate; focus on keeping people in jobs; helping people back to work; and working with employers.
