| Annotation | ILC-UK held the first Future of Ageing Conference on the 24th November 2015. This report sets out some of the key themes which emerged from the Conference, namely: the future population profile; the future of health and care in an ageing society; individual and societal wealth in an ageing society; work in an ageing society; and housing in an ageing society. 'Worst' and 'best' case scenarios are presented; 'worst case' portrays what may happen if the status quo remains, while 'best case' highlights what may happen if all of the challenges are met and the opportunities are taken. The report sets out ten indicators of progress which will be explored at conferences over the next few years: health must find a way to be more responsive and preventative; government must make progress in delivering a long term settlement to pay for social care; savings levels for working age adults must increase; average age of exit from the workforce should rise; the number and type of homes built should be. increasingly appropriate for our ageing society; Government should make progress in facilitating greater risk sharing in accumulation and decumulation of retirement income; we must have a more informed older consumer; our aspirations for retirement must be about much more than us spending more hours watching television; businesses should better respond to ageing; and we must strengthen the social contract between young and old.
