| Annotation | The concept of social exclusion among older people is examined using data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA), and supported by Age UK as part of a three-year programme of work. The author adopts a cross-sectional and longitudinal approach in analysing data collected in 2002 and 2008, and builds on Matt Barnes and colleagues' 2006l work, 'The social exclusion of older people: evidence from the first wave of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA)'. The author measures exclusion from the following domains: social relationships; cultural activities; civic activities and access to information; local amenities; decent housing and public transport; common consumer goods; and financial products. He suggests how policy-makers should respond to the problems, for example in relation to widowhood or carers. (RH). |
