| Annotation | The House of Lords Select Committee on Public Service and Demographic Change report 'Ready for ageing?' explored what is needed to prepare for and benefit from living longer and with many more older people. This report follows on from 'Ready for ageing?'. It aims to start a debate, to demonstrate that we have a choice, that we can plan for the future. It presents worst case and best case scenarios on a range of themes. The authors imagine the impact of policy failure on money, health and care, relationships, work and learning, lifestyle, and where we live - issues that are key to well-being. It considers what could happen to older people in the next 16 years (by 2030) if political parties cannot agree on how to tackle the demographic changes that are happening now. The best case scenarios will happen if the correct decisions are made, and if the challenges of ageing are approached positively and creatively. (RH). |
