| Annotation | Age UK sets out the "key opportunities" that must not be missed in 2012 in relation to: equal and active citizens; tackling need and preventing poverty; dignity in care and support; essential services and consumer markets; health, healthcare and well-being; lifetime homes and lifetime neighbourhoods; and international aid and humanitarian emergencies. Although the Coalition Government is starting to tackle some of the challenges associated with ageing, Age UK states that action is needed to bring together "disparate policy threads". A framework is recommended in which individuals take responsibility for planning their later lives; and businesses, civil society, and local and central government recognise and respond as appropriate to older people's requirements and needs. While this summary includes the salient facts and figure, the full (152 pp) report, 'Agenda for later life: policy priorities for active ageing' (http://www.ageuk.org.uk/Documents/EN-GB/For-profes... provides much more detailed information on indicator sources.
