| Annotation | The Centre for Ageing Better commissioned a scoping review on the nature of inequalities in later life in England. The review was conducted by Thomas Scharf and Caroline Shaw from Newcastle University Institute of Ageing and Institute of Health and Society, with Sally-Marie Bamford, Brian Beach and Dean Hochiaf from the International Longevity Centre UK (ILC-UK). This short report sets out key insights from the review and the Centre for Ageing Better's view on their implications. The review illustrates stark contrasts in people's experiences of later life in terms of health, financial security and social connections. It also reports a lack of evidence in respect of black and minority ethnic groups (BME), lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities, and those with disabilities. Failure to tackle the inequalities highlighted risks a future where smaller groups of people experience a good later life, on which this report aims to stimulate debate and action. (RH). |
