In the first few decades of the new millennium the UK population structure will be transformed, with fewer young people and more older people. The dramatic implications of this historically unprecedented change will affect everything from housing, transport and pensions to health, community care, public attitudes and the labour market.
The Debate of the Age committee was formed to look into public perception and some issues surrounding the impact of this change. Coordinated by Age Concern.
