| Annotation | While communities are changing constantly to meet new challenges, are they changing to meet the needs of an ageing population, or are older people being left behind? This report sets out the results of a range of initiatives to identify future opportunities and potential challenges for older people. Examples considered include possible technology innovations to 2050, changes in social engagement, and changes brought about by the economic situation and climate change. Personalised information, increasing independence, and access to activities and services are suggested as areas of opportunity. Help the Aged regards this report as a starting point for debate on how we can ensure that such changes can work to the benefit of older people. The text is based on original research by Research for Tomorrow, Today, and Accent, with additional analysis by Help the Aged. (RH). |
