Managing an ageing population

The generation strain: Collective solutions to care in an ageing society
IPPR, 24 April 2014
  • "We need to transform our understanding of what ‘social care’ is in order to help people live decent lives, to put in place the right building blocks to prepare for an ageing population, and to reduce future demand for care."
  • A discussion of how society can support the growing elderly population through ‘build’ and ‘adapt’: to build new community institutions capable of sustaining us through the changes ahead and to adapt the social structures already in place, such as family caring, public services, workplaces and neighbourhoods.
