| Annotation | The Local Government Knowledge Navigator is an initiative funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), and steered by ESRC, Local Government Association (LGA) and the Society of Local Authority Chief Executives (SOLACE). 'Need to Know' reviews summarise research-derived knowledge and evidence relevant to topics that have been identified to the Knowledge Navigator as priorities by local government. This review on the demography of ageing and the role of local government focuses on the main opportunities and challenges posed by population ageing for policymakers at the local level. It considers the ways in which such opportunities and challenges might be tackled. It uses key indicators to discuss the characteristics of population ageing in the UK. It draws on national and European policy agendas on healthy ageing and health and social care needs. It examines the importance of independent living and choice in housing arrangements in later life. Lastly, it brings together evidence on well-being and quality of life across the life-course. (RH). |
