| Annotation | This is the ninth in a series of ten think pieces from leading UK think tanks to mark Hanover's 50th year in providing high quality housing and related services for older people. This paper from the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) considers the reality, challenges and opportunities of mobility in later life. It explores migration trends of older people within England in the context of wider migration trends. It uses data to corroborate these trends, and the challenges that movement can present. It sets out the lessons that these insights give for policymakers, local areas and care providers, and the steps that should be taken in order to meet the needs of this large age group. It finds that there is some truth in the stereotype that older people move to areas where there is already a large proportion of older people, particularly coastal areas; and that they move from urban areas to small rural destinations. However, the data is also clear that movement patterns are more varied, suggesting that older people also move to areas without a history of older in-migration. This item is also a chapter in 'Perspectives on ageing and housing: insights by leading UK think tanks' (RH). |
