| Annotation | Demographic change raises a range of policy issues and challenges that will vary in form or nuance from place to place, and in terms of the most appropriate government level and potential mechanisms for policy intervention. Three challenges stand out for attention at Regional Strategy level, against the broader backdrop of government policy on migration: extending working lives, tackling age discrimination, and promoting independent living. The first challenge is that almost one million additional households are projected to form in the South East in the period 2006 to 2031. The second challenge is that in 63% of these additional households the head will be aged 65+, and 70% would be occupied by a single person. The third challenge is that by 2031, almost a quarter of the South East population will be of state pensionable age. This report considers these challenges in respect of issues such as "the silver economy" - that is, older people's need and demand for services. (KJ/RH). |
