| Annotation | This discussion paper presents an analysis of a number of issues pertaining to older people and rural communities in the UK. It is not a statement of Government policy. The aim is to take stock of the evidence on social exclusion experienced by older people (defined here as those aged 50 and over); understand who among this population is at most risk of experiencing exclusion; and understand the particular issues in delivering public services to older people in rural areas. It examines indicators of disadvantage in relation to: income, health and well-being; social support and participation; access to transport and services; and housing quality. Included is a case study toolkit that identifies good practice innovations in public services to alleviate exclusion. (RH). |
