| Annotation | The Local Government Centre, Warwick University was commissioned to conduct a programme of research on behalf of the Inter-Ministerial Group on Older People, to examine older people's attitudes and aspirations, their lifestyles, their relations with local, regional and national government, and their views on how they are represented. The research focuses on three themes identified by the Inter-Ministerial group. First, active ageing, including employment, retirement, mentoring, volunteering, intergenerational activities, lifelong learning and the impact of age discrimination. Second, independence in health and social care. Third, consultation and involvement in government at all levels. The research comprises two inter-connected parts: a literature review, and this qualitative research. This summary presents the main findings. (RH)(KJ). |
