In an ageing society, understanding and engaging with ‘the older consumer’ is of pressing interest for businesses who want to realise the potential of the market. But it is not an easy market to understand or describe. A key issue to be addressed by marketers is to avoid a homogenisation of older people. The diversity of consumer spending of this group is often lost in ageist perceptions of ‘what older people want’. Despite this however, it remains to be seen if the commonalities of ageing – such as wealth depletion and physiological changes – nudge older people to gravitate to a norm. In Dec 2010, ILC-UK and the Personal Finance Resource Centre (PFRC) at the University of Bristol published a report which explored what and how older people spent their income (Consumption Patterns Among Older Consumers). The evidence from this report fed into the ILC-UK report for Age UK on older consumers (The Golden Economy). ILC-UK and PFRC have teamed up again to further explore issues around consumption and old age, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council Secondary Data Analysis Initiative. At this seminar we presented new evidence which explores patterns of expenditure among older people and considers what explains these. During the seminar we: Considered how our spending varies as we age, including setting out average and overall spending by age group; Segmented older households based on their patterns of expenditure; Considered the validity of a single ‘older consumer’ model.

The Financial Impact of Longevity Risk

Gespo Gestión Pública

Si usted fuere uno de los que duda del impacto que tiene en las sociedades el creciente número de adultos mayores, le pido lea el Capítulo 4. No se va a arrepentir; además, probablemente tome consciencia de lo que nos espera a partir de los años treinta de este siglo si no definimos políticas públicas que contribuyan, no sólo a detener la caída de la fecundidad sino a modificar de raíz nuestros hoy inviables sistemas de pensiones entre otras medidas.

Gordon Walker - What energy uses matter? Fuel poverty beyond heating

Harriet Thomson

Fuel poverty policy seeks to make the use of energy affordable, particularly for those who are disadvantaged and vulnerable. But what uses of household energy should this policy be concerned with? In the UK energy for heating is readily seen as essential because of the need for people to keep warm and healthy in their homes. Fuel poverty policy does recognise the need for household expenditure on other forms of energy use – for lighting, cooking, water heating and appliances - but the rationale for seeing these as necessities that should be affordable for all has rarely been articulated. In our work we have examined the grounds on which energy uses can be considered essential for enabling a minimally-decent quality of life, drawing on both theoretical ideas and empirical evidence. This research has implications for the scope of current fuel poverty policy, and its overriding concern with affordable warmth rather than with supporting other outcomes from the use of energy.

What is retirement really like? - 01Dec15

ILC- UK

Presentation slides from the ILC-UK 'What is retirmeent really like?' launch event on the 1st December 2015. Building on ILC-UK’s extensive work on older consumers and on retirement income, this major research report assesses the differences between theory or popular belief about retirement and the reality of it. The report considers how spending varies during old age and challenges pre-existing stereotypes about retired life which can be misleading and may contribute to poor planning or unrealistic expectations. This report, which incorporates new quantitative analysis and the feedback from 3 expert focus groups, will explore the role for policymakers and industry in helping us retire well.

18Nov14 - Silver Separators Presentation

ILC- UK

This was the final event in the Population Patterns Seminar Series which explored the “silver separators”- divorce later in life. Figures from the Office for National Statistics published in 2012 showed a huge rise in the divorce rate amongst those in their 60s, with an increase of 58% on the 2011 figure. The last 10 years have seen more and more older people part ways, despite divorce amongst the general population becoming less common. This has happened to such an extent that the over 60’s are now the fastest growing divorce group in the UK. A variety of reasons have been suggested, including a reduction in the stigma surrounding divorce and couples no longer feeling obliged to stay together if their attitudes and needs change. However, figures released by the ONS in June 2012 revealed that marriages involving older people were also rising faster than for other age groups – up by 21% for women and by 25% for men in their late sixties. Re-partnership is likely to be even higher than these figures suggest, as older people in a new relationship may not choose to remarry. During the event the discussion explored a number of themes, including: What factors have contributed to the rising rate of divorce amongst the over 60s? How can older people’s relationships be better supported? What challenges does ageing present to relationships? How do care responsibilities effect relationships? What are the potential ramifications of older couples separating?

CASE Center for Social and Economic Research

In recent years, population ageing has attracted the attention of research and policy advisors in all European countries. Several policy actions have been directed toward ensuring optimal long-term care (LTC) for elderly people while maintaining fiscal rationality. LTC systems are very different across all European countries. Their design is characterized by diverse arrangements for the provision of care/organization and financing. Despite general concerns, the Polish LTC system is still at the bottom of the pile in terms of the organization and provision of care. Authored by: Izabela Styczynska

Chapter Five Older People and Long-Term Care Issues of Access.docx

mccormicknadine86

Chapter Five Older People and Long-Term Care: Issues of Access 1 2 Why the new interest in long-term care? The Baby Boomers are adding to the growth in the population over 65. There is increasing fear of dependency on long-term care. Adult children of the elderly having to find care for their parents. Healthcare reform promises great changes that are not well understood. 3 3 The Growing Population Needing Care The need for ADL and IADL assistance continues to grow. Table 8-1 presents the broad range of services needed by the disabled. Most of the population needing long-term care do not live in nursing homes. Many factors contribute to the inability to predict the exact number needing services in the future. 4 4 The Growing Population Needing Care Future populations may be better educated which is associated with lower levels of disability. Ethnic composition suggests a greater need for care and government support. Boomers will bring greater numbers of people needing services. The number of those over 75 will greatly increase. 5 5 The Growing Population Needing Care Disability rates will increase among those who are not in nursing homes. The most common disability is physical. In addition, the nursing home population is expected to have profound increases until it triples by 2030. The number of younger persons with disability has also increased. 6 6 Issues of Access The current system is far from ideal. There is not an adequate supply particularly for the poor. The system itself continues to be so fragmented that many are not aware of what is offered. Financing is an underlying problem. 7 7 The Costs of Care Expenses for this care are sizable and will increase in the future. Private insurance only pays for a small percentage of the care. Medicaid pays for over 85% of nursing home care. 8 8 The Costs of Care Annual costs of nursing home care can average $58,000 per year and may exceed $100,000. For many, the costs of this care is just not affordable. With the addition of the Baby Boomers, costs will most certainly increase in the future. The effects of reform are not currently known. 9 9 The Care-giving Role of Families About 74% of dependent community-based elders receive care from family members. The majority of caregivers are women. The number and willingness of family caregivers may decline as the Boomers become in need for assistance. 10 10 The Role of Private Insurance Private insurance for long-term care is a relatively new product. Improvements in coverage are being made, but only an estimated 20% of the population will use it. CCRCs and LCAHs hold promise for the future. 11 11 The Role of Medicaid Medicaid is changing under PPACA to include more eligible adults who will receive benchmark coverage. Medicaid is used for those elders who meet certain criteria. Medicaid does not pay for the full range of services including home-based care. Some states are using a waiver to offe ...

Sandy Millin

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024 Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error. Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials. This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education

Peter Windle

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction. This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe. For more information, visit-www.vavaclasses.com
