| Annotation | The Foresight Future of on Ageing Population team has considered a wide range of evidence and commissioned 22 peer-reviewed evidence reviews (see: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/future-of-ageing.. This report brings together findings from the project on these themes: working lives; lifelong learning; housing and neighbourhoods; a central role for families; health and care systems; and physical, social and technological connectivity. It notes that in mid-2014, the median age of the UK population exceeded 40 for the first time, up from 33.9 years in 1974. Another consequence of an ageing population is that the proportion of the working age population aged between 50 and the state pension age (SPA) will increase from 26% in 2012 to 35% in 2050, an increase of some 8 million people. This report combines evidence about today's older people with future trends and projections, so as to identify the most critical implications of an ageing population for government policy and socio-economic resilience.
