| Annotation | In 2009, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), and the newly merged charity Age Concern and Help the Aged (Age UK from Spring 2010) jointly established a programme of research and policy seminars called 'Just Ageing?: Fairness, equality and the life course'. The aim was to create a deeper understanding of equality over the life course, and to build momentum for action on the disadvantage that accumulates at different stages of the life and results in inequality in old age. This report builds on the Equality Bill published in 2009. It presents key findings, drawing on new research commissioned by the programme and five seminars held in 2009. It provides background on why questions about ageing, equality and the life course are important and outlines different ways of thinking about these issues. It presents new findings relating to early, mid and late life course factors that affect equality in later life. It offers eight key insights from the research and the seminars, for example the need to increase the voices of older and younger people, and to pay more attention to unpaid carers.
