'How can we support older workers?' an ILC-UK European policy debate, support...
Tuesday 3rd September, M&G, Governor’s House, Laurence Pountney Hill, London, EC4R 0HH, 16:00 for a 16:30 start – 18:30
Featuring Steve Webb MP (Minister for Pensions); Christopher Brooks (Age UK) and David Sinclair (ILC-UK), presenting findings from a new policy review of European innovations in supporting longer working lives. Chaired by Baroness Greengross, CEO, ILC-UK and cross-bench peer
Europe needs older workers. Its long-term ageing population and recent economic hardships are creating huge fiscal and demographic pressures - pressures which could be greatly relieved if it can encourage its workers to remain in work for longer.
How is this to be achieved?
The European Union recently launched its Europe 2020 strategy which set employment targets of 75% for workers aged 20-64. However, with the old-age dependency ratio for the EU28 predicted to climb over 50% by 2050, much more still needs to be done.
In this event we will hear UK and EU perspectives on how older workers can be supported, with contributions from Steve Webb MP, the UK Minister for Pensions; and Christopher Brooks (Age UK)
To inform this debate, ILC-UK launched a report at the event, supported by Prudential, which shares key policy approaches being taken across to support older workers.

Ben Franklin - Older Workers in the Eurozone
The document discusses how raising the labor force participation of older workers in Eurozone countries could help boost their economic recovery. It analyzes three scenarios: keeping participation rates at current levels, gradually increasing rates for those over 65, and gradually increasing rates for those over 50. The results show that even a gradual increase could significantly impact long-term GDP growth rates. However, raising participation alone will not be enough and must be accompanied by policies to improve workforce productivity across the region. The document also examines factors that influence longer working lives and argues that both incentives and health support are needed to harness the potential of older workers.

Debt and problem debt among older people 4june13 - presentation
Debt is commonly assumed to be a problem of the young and not of the old. New research carried out by ILC-UK and supported by Age UK examines the validity of this assumption and sets out the extent to which debt impacts on the lives of older people.
Over recent years, older people, in common with other age groups, have faced significant financial challenges. For older people, lower than expected returns on savings and decreases in annuity rates have reduced the income many retirees were expecting in later life. Increases in energy and food costs are also hitting older people on fixed incomes hard, while older workers are faced with unprecedented job and income insecurity. Could these new challenges have influenced the attitudes and behaviours of older people towards credit usage? And just how accurate are cosy depictions of older people as ‘squirreling savers shunning credit’ compared to the reality?
This new research explores the way in which attitudes towards borrowing vary by age before presenting new findings on levels of problem debt among older people. The characteristics associated with entering problem debt are explored in this research, as well as the outcomes of living with problem debt on the lives of older people.
Dr Dylan Kneale, Head of Research at ILC-UK, presented the findings of the research. Dr Stella Creasy MP, known for her parliamentary work around the field of debt, was a keynote speaker, while Sally West, Income and Poverty Strategy Adviser at Age UK, provided insight into the organisation’s work in providing debt counselling and advice for older people. Tom Wright, Chief Executive of Age UK, and Baroness Sally Greengross, Chief executive of ILC-UK, co-chaired the event and all took part in a panel debate after presentations.
Moved to Care launch presentations
This presentation includes the ILC-UK's Ben Franklin and Cesira Urzì Brancati presenting a summary of the Moved to Care report; a response from Dr Shereen Hussein, Senior Research Fellow at King's College London; and a response from Madeleine Sumption, Director of the Migration Observatory.
Sos2020 Finance launch presentation
The document summarizes a report by the International Longevity Centre-UK on how retirement choices could impact financial resilience over the long term. The report models the impact of different choices - like annuitizing savings, spending the entire pot, or keeping savings invested - on retirees' finances. It finds that those with high concentrations of defined contribution savings are most at risk if they spend their pots, and recommends annuitizing at least part of savings for this group. It also recommends improved guidance and raising long term savings levels.
Pension Commission: 10 Years On
The 4th April 2016 marks ten years to the day after the final report of the Pension Commission. The Pensions Commission painted a future where individuals would need to do a combination of working longer, saving more, or paying more tax. The Commission argued that a failure to act would lead to poorer pensioners.
This ILC-UK analysis highlights positive progress in extending working lives, preventing pensioner poverty and getting more people into saving. But the think tank warns of complacency and paints a bleak picture for future pensioners.
This analysis, published on its website finds that since the Pensions Commission:
* The average age of exit from the labour force is increasing but it is still below what it was in the 1960s and 1970s.
* In fact, the average time spent in retirement continues to increase.
* Auto-enrolment has delivered a growing number of employees with workplace pensions.
* But median contribution rates are low and a growing proportion of us have no savings. Final Salary pension coverage continues to fall.
* Younger people are less well placed than previous generations to save and may attract lower long term returns on their savings.
* Effective tax rates have been falling but have increased more recently.
* Spending on pensioner benefits slightly above the long run average as a percentage of GDP

14Jul2014 - Dementia and Prevention
We invited experts from the field of public health and dementia to discuss the growing interest in dementia risk reduction and the implications of a new paper launched at the event entitled 'Preventing dementia: a provocation. How can we do more to prevent dementia, save lives and reduce avoidable costs?'
Building on the momentum of the Blackfriars Consensus from Public Health England and the UK Health Forum on “promoting brain health and reducing risks for dementia in the population”, we are keen to stimulate debate and discussion about how we could tackle dementia risk factors at scale and the potential economic, health and societal benefits of dementia risk reduction.
The provocation to be launched on the day posits that we can have a significant impact on reducing the number of people who will develop dementia. The paper identifies a number of risk factors for dementia that are amenable to intervention and have modelled the impact of matching the best-practice interventions on reducing the six main risk factors from global case studies. It is estimated that over the 27-year period from 2013-2040 this could prevent nearly 3 million people developing dementia in the UK. This would reduce the costs to the state in the UK by £42.9 billion (calculated from 2013 and 2040, minus any associated costs of intervention).
We see this paper as a provocation and a starting point for more detailed and rigorous research in this field, and are keen to hear views on further research gaps in this area and other research and policy analysis being carried out.
Speakers included Rebecca Wood (Alzheimer's Research UK), Sally-Marie Bamford (ILC-UK), Phil Hope (Improving Care), Keiran Brett (Improving Care), Shirley Cramer (The Royal Society for Public Health), Dr Charles Alessi (Public Health England), Johan Vos (Alzheimer's Disease International).

This document summarizes a presentation by Dr. Ros Altmann on the need for businesses to embrace older workers. Some key points:
1) People are living longer, healthier lives but the traditional retirement age is outdated, leaving a skills gap as the population ages. Employers need to retain experienced older workers.
2) Combining more work with more savings offers a solution to funding longer retirements. Retirement should be seen as a process rather than an event.
3) Many workers want to work past retirement age to boost their income in retirement. Only 20% feel they are saving enough.
4) Dr. Altmann will work with businesses to promote retaining and hiring older workers,
Prof Thomas Scharf - Future of Ageing
Presentation Slides from Professor Thomas Scharf's speech at the ILC-UK 2017 Future of Ageing Conference, 29 November 2017, London.
Personal care savings bonds
Demographic change means that more people will live past the point where they require care. As the increase in life expectancy looks set to continue, we need to develop enterprising and innovative ways to help people save and plan for this eventuality and bring new money into the care system. If people are to save for their future, especially people who are on lower incomes or are less wealthy, it is essential that they have opportunities to do so in a way that is simple, attractive, engaging, and safe, and which provides them with more choice about the care and support they would like. Equally, they must not be penalised for having done so through means tested support. This is what Personal Care Savings Bonds are intended to be all about.
Adult inequalities in lifespan
This report, containing new research by Professor Les Mayhew reveals that the life expectancy gap between the richest and poorest has begun to increase. The research reveals that the richest 5% of men are living an average of 96.2 years, which is 34.2 years longer than the poorest 10% of men. The gap is 1.7 years wider than in 1993.
There are likely to be significant unintended consequences of further increases to State Pension Age in 2028. Increasing State Pension Age up to levels where disability rates are higher, raises concerns about transferring spending from the State Pension to disability or other working age benefits. Increasing the State Pension Age further might also impact on the supply of carers. And will employers be prepared for further increases in the State Pension Age?
Public policy is beginning to recognise the challenges ahead. The DWP Select Committee are currently conducting an Inquiry into “early drawing of the state pension”. Labour have proposed a flexible state pension age so manual workers can retire earlier than other workers. Are there other, potentially more radical solutions to the inequalities challenge?
Think Young Presentation
The document discusses a think tank called Think Young that was created to give young Europeans a voice and forum to share their opinions and ideas about the future of Europe. Think Young conducts various activities like conferences, blogs, surveys and essays to understand what issues are important to youth and make European leaders aware of their perspectives. A survey of over 200 young Europeans under 30 found that most feel European but have moderate levels of trust in EU politicians and interest in politics. Think Young's goal is to bring the voices of young thinkers to Brussels and other decision makers.
Faith in a rapidly ageing society
New analysis shows 60s who join a gym more likely to join a religious group
The ILC-UK's longitudinal analysis also found that over 60s who join a political party are also significantly more likely to join a religious group like a church, synagogue or mosque.
Policy Debate: Longevity, health and public policy. How should policy-makers ...
Launch of ILC-UK Factpack, Ageing, longevity and demographic change, Supported by Legal & General
his important briefing event, for journalists and senior policy-makers and opinion formers, set out the latest evidence on longevity and explore the extent to which government and business (financial services industry) is responding to the challenges. We will consider the extent to which longevity is influencing government and business decisions and how media and policy-makers can help to ensure that important longevity issues are taken into account.
For example, the Government has set out plans to increase the state pension age to 66 years from 2018, and 67 years from 2026. They have also announced plans to automatically link state pension age with increased longevity.
Whilst the driver of change has partly been the need for Government to cut spending and make fiscal savings, there is also a recognition that people will be spending an increasing proportion of their lives in retirement. Although we may be living longer on average, many are likely to be doing so in poor health. In parts of the country life expectancy is much lower than the UK average.
In addition, on 26th June the Government will announce its latest spending review. The impact of future spending demands of an ageing society will undoubtedly influence this review so the event will consider the extent to which Government’s current spending priorities have adequately taken into account long term demographic change and how the private sector can contribute.
The event took place just after the launch of the latest Office of Budget Responsibility fiscal sustainability report which set out the long term impact of ageing on fiscal sustainability. In its 2012 report, the OBR said; “The public finances are likely to come under pressure over the longer term, primarily as a result of an ageing population.”
ILC-UK launched a new factpack, Ageing, longevity and demographic change, which has been produced with the support of Legal & General. The factpack will help those with an interest in population ageing and longevity to quickly access key, relevant statistics.

10Feb14 - Linking SPA to Longevity - ILC-UK
Speaking during the Autumn Statement in December 2013, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne MP, confirmed plans which would mean that people should spend a third of their adult lives in retirement.
The 2013 Draft Pensions Bill, currently going through the House of Lords, proposes five-year reviews of the State Pension Age (SPA) with the aim of maintaining the proportion of adult life spent in receipt of a state pension based on increasing life expectancy.
In the UK, reductions in mortality have been accompanied by increased life expectancies over the last century. Between 1911 to 2010, life expectancy in the UK has increased from 49.4 to 78.5 for men and from 53.1 to 82.4 for women. The Chancellor confirmed that the date when the state pension age rises to 68 will be brought forward to the mid-2030s - it had not been due to kick in until 2046 - and the state pension age could rise to 69 by the late 2040s.
A growing number of countries are beginning to link pension age with increases in life expectancy to address the financial impact of an ageing population. Across the OECD, countries are raising retirement ages as life expectancy increases. By 2050, the average state pension age will rise from 63 for men and 62 for women to almost 65 for both sexes. A number of countries in the European Union have linked pension benefits with life expectancy including Spain, Italy, Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece and the Netherlands.
It has been estimated that, from 2007 to 2032, the public expenditure on pensions and related benefits will rise from 4.7% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to 6.2%.
But whilst increasing the State Pension Age appears to be a logical step to addressing the financial challenges of an ageing population, the complex interplay of factors impacting on retirement and workforce participation cannot be ignored.
Our event considered some of these challenges such as:
How can increasing the State Pension Age be fair when significant numbers of poorer citizens will reach this age in ill-health (or not at all)?
Which groups lose out most by an increase in state pension age?
How can we respond to the fairness challenge?
The appropriateness of different measures of life expectancy (cohort life expectancy; period life expectancy; healthy life expectancy; disability free life expectancy).
Will increasing the State Pension Age reduce the dependency ratio and extend working lives?
What will be the fiscal impact if an increasing number older people find themselves unable to work and needing to access working age benefits?
At the event, we heared from the Minister for Pensions, Steve Webb MP; ILC-UK Research Fellow, Ben Franklin; Dr Craig Berry, ILC-UK Fellow and Research Fellow at the University of Sheffield; Camilla Williamson, Age UK’s Development and Support Manager, Knowledge Transfer; Professor John MacInnes, a social demographer and Professor of Sociology at the University of Edinburgh.
12Oct16 - Housing in an Ageing Society
On the 12th October 2016, the ILC-UK held a Housing in an Ageing Society event, kindly hosted by Legal & General and supported by the ILC-UK Partners Programme.
On Tuesday, 19th July the International Longevity Centre - UK (ILC-UK) launched our “Housing in an ageing society” factpack with the support of FirstPort.
The report found a significant increase in older people living alone, yet millions were failing to adapt their homes to help them live independently.
The State of the Nation’s Housing’ reports that:Only around half of those over 50s experiencing limitations in Activities of Daily Living, live in homes with any adaptations.
Those in retirement housing are significantly more likely to be living in homes with adaptations than those who do not. Approximately 87% of those in retirement housing have home adaptations, by comparison to around 60% of other housing.
There could be a retirement housing gap of 160,000 by 2030 if current trends continue. By 2050, the gap could grow to 376,000.
Over 16 million people – mainly owner occupied, middle aged and older households - live in under-occupied housing.
Growing numbers of 45-64 year olds, and 65-74 year olds are living alone, with 6 million people living in houses with two or more excess bedrooms.
At the event we explored these trends and consider how policymakers should respond.
We heard presentations from:
- Sally Randall, Director, Housing Standards and Support, Department for Communities and Local Government
- Nigel Wilson, Group Chief Executive, Legal & General;
- Dr Brian Beach, Research Fellow, ILC-UK

On Thursday, 21st April 2016 the International Longevity Centre and the Global Aging Institute hosted a roundtable discussion with European Commissioners on maximising the potential of Europe's ageing population in reference to Asian best practice, supported by Prudential Plc.
The discussion focused on how different Asian countries address the demographic challenge posed by an ageing society, and how they respond to the social mood relating to work and retirement; participants also considered how healthcare can meet the challenges posed by rapidly ageing societies across Europe.
Healthy ageing? The opportunities and challenges of an older workforce
Slides from a Presentation by David Sinclair, Director at International Longevity Centre UK, to Cigna in June 2014.
"Changing the way we think of elderly" - The Straits Times
1) The document discusses how the elderly are often portrayed negatively in the media as frail, sick, forgetful, and dependent on others for help.
2) While the media aims to report facts, the frequent negative portrayals reinforce societal ageism. Terms like "silver tsunami" used to describe the aging population have very negative connotations of a destructive force.
3) It is time to redefine what it means to be elderly and shift away from defining people solely by their chronological age. Many so-called elderly are active, independent contributors to society who should not be viewed primarily as a burden.
Age discrimination at work
Age discrimination exists in the Italian labor market despite laws prohibiting it. Younger and older workers both face discrimination and stereotypes. For older workers, this includes exclusion from training and age limits in job postings. Younger workers have difficulties entering stable employment. The issue is compounded by Italy's aging population and high unemployment rates, especially among youth and those over 55. Discriminatory practices include age limits in public sector job postings, despite being illegal. Combating negative stereotypes and promoting age diversity are important to address age discrimination in Italy.

This document examines how changes in migration rates and employment rates of those aged 65+ can impact UK economic output. It analyzes four scenarios with varying migration and employment rate assumptions and their effect on output under different productivity growth levels. The findings show that small increases to migration and 65+ employment rates over time can significantly boost UK output, especially if productivity growth is low. Policies should consider long-term impacts and facilitate working beyond 65 to encourage higher economic growth.

The document discusses the Enspire EU project which focuses on entrepreneurship, innovation, and social inclusion. It aims to support disadvantaged groups and provides examples of best practices. An upcoming seminar will be held in Halland to build networks for the project. The EU prioritizes entrepreneurship in its 2020 growth strategy and most new jobs are created by small and medium enterprises. However, the desire for self-employment is decreasing, especially in older EU countries. The Enspire EU consortium will work to address challenges like awareness, access to capital, and administrative barriers faced by target groups including women, migrants, the long-term unemployed, and disconnected youth.
The Irish Economy-National Enterprise Week May 2014
The Irish economy is recovering following the crisis. Exports have supported the recovery, driven by competitiveness gains and growth in trading partners. Investment and employment are increasing, which will support further improvements in consumer spending. The outlook is for positive growth in 2014 and 2015, as export growth, rising business sentiment and continued job gains broaden the recovery across sectors and regions.

29Oct14 - Productive Ageing - Dr Ros Altmann
This Robert Butler Memorial Lecture, held on Wednesday 29th October 2014, was part of the ILC Global Alliance visit to the UK.
Robert Butler, founder of ILC US, was a passionate believer in the importance of health and productive ageing and we were honoured that Dr Ros Altmann, government’s Business Champion for Older Workers agreed to give the Lecture.

This document summarizes a presentation by Dr. Ros Altmann on the need for businesses to embrace older workers. Some key points:
1) People are living longer, healthier lives but the traditional retirement age is outdated, leaving a skills gap as the population ages. Employers need to retain experienced older workers.
2) Combining more work with more savings offers a solution to funding longer retirements. Retirement should be seen as a process rather than an event.
3) Many workers want to work past retirement age to boost their income in retirement. Only 20% feel they are saving enough.
4) Dr. Altmann will work with businesses to promote retaining and hiring older workers,
Prof Thomas Scharf - Future of Ageing
Presentation Slides from Professor Thomas Scharf's speech at the ILC-UK 2017 Future of Ageing Conference, 29 November 2017, London.
Personal care savings bonds
Demographic change means that more people will live past the point where they require care. As the increase in life expectancy looks set to continue, we need to develop enterprising and innovative ways to help people save and plan for this eventuality and bring new money into the care system. If people are to save for their future, especially people who are on lower incomes or are less wealthy, it is essential that they have opportunities to do so in a way that is simple, attractive, engaging, and safe, and which provides them with more choice about the care and support they would like. Equally, they must not be penalised for having done so through means tested support. This is what Personal Care Savings Bonds are intended to be all about.
Adult inequalities in lifespan
This report, containing new research by Professor Les Mayhew reveals that the life expectancy gap between the richest and poorest has begun to increase. The research reveals that the richest 5% of men are living an average of 96.2 years, which is 34.2 years longer than the poorest 10% of men. The gap is 1.7 years wider than in 1993.
There are likely to be significant unintended consequences of further increases to State Pension Age in 2028. Increasing State Pension Age up to levels where disability rates are higher, raises concerns about transferring spending from the State Pension to disability or other working age benefits. Increasing the State Pension Age further might also impact on the supply of carers. And will employers be prepared for further increases in the State Pension Age?
Public policy is beginning to recognise the challenges ahead. The DWP Select Committee are currently conducting an Inquiry into “early drawing of the state pension”. Labour have proposed a flexible state pension age so manual workers can retire earlier than other workers. Are there other, potentially more radical solutions to the inequalities challenge?
Think Young Presentation
The document discusses a think tank called Think Young that was created to give young Europeans a voice and forum to share their opinions and ideas about the future of Europe. Think Young conducts various activities like conferences, blogs, surveys and essays to understand what issues are important to youth and make European leaders aware of their perspectives. A survey of over 200 young Europeans under 30 found that most feel European but have moderate levels of trust in EU politicians and interest in politics. Think Young's goal is to bring the voices of young thinkers to Brussels and other decision makers.
Faith in a rapidly ageing society
New analysis shows 60s who join a gym more likely to join a religious group
The ILC-UK's longitudinal analysis also found that over 60s who join a political party are also significantly more likely to join a religious group like a church, synagogue or mosque.
Policy Debate: Longevity, health and public policy. How should policy-makers ...
Launch of ILC-UK Factpack, Ageing, longevity and demographic change, Supported by Legal & General
his important briefing event, for journalists and senior policy-makers and opinion formers, set out the latest evidence on longevity and explore the extent to which government and business (financial services industry) is responding to the challenges. We will consider the extent to which longevity is influencing government and business decisions and how media and policy-makers can help to ensure that important longevity issues are taken into account.
For example, the Government has set out plans to increase the state pension age to 66 years from 2018, and 67 years from 2026. They have also announced plans to automatically link state pension age with increased longevity.
Whilst the driver of change has partly been the need for Government to cut spending and make fiscal savings, there is also a recognition that people will be spending an increasing proportion of their lives in retirement. Although we may be living longer on average, many are likely to be doing so in poor health. In parts of the country life expectancy is much lower than the UK average.
In addition, on 26th June the Government will announce its latest spending review. The impact of future spending demands of an ageing society will undoubtedly influence this review so the event will consider the extent to which Government’s current spending priorities have adequately taken into account long term demographic change and how the private sector can contribute.
The event took place just after the launch of the latest Office of Budget Responsibility fiscal sustainability report which set out the long term impact of ageing on fiscal sustainability. In its 2012 report, the OBR said; “The public finances are likely to come under pressure over the longer term, primarily as a result of an ageing population.”
ILC-UK launched a new factpack, Ageing, longevity and demographic change, which has been produced with the support of Legal & General. The factpack will help those with an interest in population ageing and longevity to quickly access key, relevant statistics.
Speakers: Baroness Sally Greengross, ILC-UK; Kerrigan Procter, Legal & General; Joseph Lu, Legal & General; Professor Les Mayhew, Cass Business School; Professor Michael Murphy, London School of Economics; Tim Gosden, Legal & General; David Sinclair, ILC-UK.
10Feb14 - Linking SPA to Longevity - ILC-UK
Speaking during the Autumn Statement in December 2013, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne MP, confirmed plans which would mean that people should spend a third of their adult lives in retirement.
The 2013 Draft Pensions Bill, currently going through the House of Lords, proposes five-year reviews of the State Pension Age (SPA) with the aim of maintaining the proportion of adult life spent in receipt of a state pension based on increasing life expectancy.
In the UK, reductions in mortality have been accompanied by increased life expectancies over the last century. Between 1911 to 2010, life expectancy in the UK has increased from 49.4 to 78.5 for men and from 53.1 to 82.4 for women. The Chancellor confirmed that the date when the state pension age rises to 68 will be brought forward to the mid-2030s - it had not been due to kick in until 2046 - and the state pension age could rise to 69 by the late 2040s.
A growing number of countries are beginning to link pension age with increases in life expectancy to address the financial impact of an ageing population. Across the OECD, countries are raising retirement ages as life expectancy increases. By 2050, the average state pension age will rise from 63 for men and 62 for women to almost 65 for both sexes. A number of countries in the European Union have linked pension benefits with life expectancy including Spain, Italy, Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece and the Netherlands.
It has been estimated that, from 2007 to 2032, the public expenditure on pensions and related benefits will rise from 4.7% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to 6.2%.
But whilst increasing the State Pension Age appears to be a logical step to addressing the financial challenges of an ageing population, the complex interplay of factors impacting on retirement and workforce participation cannot be ignored.
Our event considered some of these challenges such as:
How can increasing the State Pension Age be fair when significant numbers of poorer citizens will reach this age in ill-health (or not at all)?
Which groups lose out most by an increase in state pension age?
How can we respond to the fairness challenge?
The appropriateness of different measures of life expectancy (cohort life expectancy; period life expectancy; healthy life expectancy; disability free life expectancy).
Will increasing the State Pension Age reduce the dependency ratio and extend working lives?
What will be the fiscal impact if an increasing number older people find themselves unable to work and needing to access working age benefits?
At the event, we heared from the Minister for Pensions, Steve Webb MP; ILC-UK Research Fellow, Ben Franklin; Dr Craig Berry, ILC-UK Fellow and Research Fellow at the University of Sheffield; Camilla Williamson, Age UK’s Development and Support Manager, Knowledge Transfer; Professor John MacInnes, a social demographer and Professor of Sociology at the University of Edinburgh.
12Oct16 - Housing in an Ageing Society
On the 12th October 2016, the ILC-UK held a Housing in an Ageing Society event, kindly hosted by Legal & General and supported by the ILC-UK Partners Programme.
On Tuesday, 19th July the International Longevity Centre - UK (ILC-UK) launched our “Housing in an ageing society” factpack with the support of FirstPort.
The report found a significant increase in older people living alone, yet millions were failing to adapt their homes to help them live independently.
The State of the Nation’s Housing’ reports that:Only around half of those over 50s experiencing limitations in Activities of Daily Living, live in homes with any adaptations.
Those in retirement housing are significantly more likely to be living in homes with adaptations than those who do not. Approximately 87% of those in retirement housing have home adaptations, by comparison to around 60% of other housing.
There could be a retirement housing gap of 160,000 by 2030 if current trends continue. By 2050, the gap could grow to 376,000.
Over 16 million people – mainly owner occupied, middle aged and older households - live in under-occupied housing.
Growing numbers of 45-64 year olds, and 65-74 year olds are living alone, with 6 million people living in houses with two or more excess bedrooms.
At the event we explored these trends and consider how policymakers should respond.
We heard presentations from:
- Sally Randall, Director, Housing Standards and Support, Department for Communities and Local Government
- Nigel Wilson, Group Chief Executive, Legal & General;
- Dr Brian Beach, Research Fellow, ILC-UK

On Thursday, 21st April 2016 the International Longevity Centre and the Global Aging Institute hosted a roundtable discussion with European Commissioners on maximising the potential of Europe's ageing population in reference to Asian best practice, supported by Prudential Plc.
The discussion focused on how different Asian countries address the demographic challenge posed by an ageing society, and how they respond to the social mood relating to work and retirement; participants also considered how healthcare can meet the challenges posed by rapidly ageing societies across Europe.
Healthy ageing? The opportunities and challenges of an older workforce
Slides from a Presentation by David Sinclair, Director at International Longevity Centre UK, to Cigna in June 2014.
"Changing the way we think of elderly" - The Straits Times
1) The document discusses how the elderly are often portrayed negatively in the media as frail, sick, forgetful, and dependent on others for help.
2) While the media aims to report facts, the frequent negative portrayals reinforce societal ageism. Terms like "silver tsunami" used to describe the aging population have very negative connotations of a destructive force.
3) It is time to redefine what it means to be elderly and shift away from defining people solely by their chronological age. Many so-called elderly are active, independent contributors to society who should not be viewed primarily as a burden.
Age discrimination at work
Age discrimination exists in the Italian labor market despite laws prohibiting it. Younger and older workers both face discrimination and stereotypes. For older workers, this includes exclusion from training and age limits in job postings. Younger workers have difficulties entering stable employment. The issue is compounded by Italy's aging population and high unemployment rates, especially among youth and those over 55. Discriminatory practices include age limits in public sector job postings, despite being illegal. Combating negative stereotypes and promoting age diversity are important to address age discrimination in Italy.

This document examines how changes in migration rates and employment rates of those aged 65+ can impact UK economic output. It analyzes four scenarios with varying migration and employment rate assumptions and their effect on output under different productivity growth levels. The findings show that small increases to migration and 65+ employment rates over time can significantly boost UK output, especially if productivity growth is low. Policies should consider long-term impacts and facilitate working beyond 65 to encourage higher economic growth.

The document discusses the Enspire EU project which focuses on entrepreneurship, innovation, and social inclusion. It aims to support disadvantaged groups and provides examples of best practices. An upcoming seminar will be held in Halland to build networks for the project. The EU prioritizes entrepreneurship in its 2020 growth strategy and most new jobs are created by small and medium enterprises. However, the desire for self-employment is decreasing, especially in older EU countries. The Enspire EU consortium will work to address challenges like awareness, access to capital, and administrative barriers faced by target groups including women, migrants, the long-term unemployed, and disconnected youth.

The Irish Economy-National Enterprise Week May 2014
The Irish economy is recovering following the crisis. Exports have supported the recovery, driven by competitiveness gains and growth in trading partners. Investment and employment are increasing, which will support further improvements in consumer spending. The outlook is for positive growth in 2014 and 2015, as export growth, rising business sentiment and continued job gains broaden the recovery across sectors and regions.

Delivered by Mr David Gallagher, IPHA President, at the IPHA Annual Meeting 2010 during the Session entitled "Ensuring the best health outcomes for Irish patients while securing value for money".Ireland economic crisis
The document discusses the causes and effects of Ireland's economic crisis in 2008 as well as the measures taken by the government to address it. The crisis was precipitated by a housing bubble fueled by excessive bank lending. This led to a collapse in tax revenues and rising unemployment. In response, Ireland implemented an EU-IMF program that stabilized the banking sector through recapitalization, pursued fiscal adjustment through spending cuts and tax increases, and has seen a return to growth in recent years. Macroeconomic indicators show the impact of the crisis and subsequent recovery.
Walking the campaign tightrope: long-term vision v quick wins
This document discusses the challenge of balancing long-term strategic campaigning with achieving quick wins. While many activities were undertaken, it is unclear if they were truly effective or impactful. The document raises the question of how to walk the tightrope between long-term vision and short-term measurable successes for a political campaign.
Government & the Economy
The document discusses economic systems and the role of government intervention in the economy. It presents arguments both for and against state intervention. It also examines the economic and social aims of the Irish government. These include achieving full employment, controlling inflation, and promoting balanced regional development. The document also outlines different policy instruments available to the government, such as fiscal policy, and how the Irish budget process works.
Long-Term Vision, Short-Term Process
One of the criticisms we’ve all heard about the Agile methodology is that it encourages mediocrity. It clouds our long-term vision with small-scale “quick wins” and forces us to focus on gradual improvements on an unambitious existing product. This talk aims to dispel this myth by distinguishing the difference between vision and process. The truth is that Agile does not stifle creativity, it does not prevent us from looking further into the future. I’ll give real-world examples of ways teams can continue to foster their long-term ambitions whilst maintaining a process which focusses on the here-and-now.

Italy - Europe’s Investment Opportunity (5 Sept .2011)
The economy of Italy is 7th largest in the world; adjusted for purchasing power parity, 10th. The country is as rich in technology and entrepreneurship as it is in history and culture.
Yet despite its profile of quality and innovation, Italy has grown slowly during the past decade – slower, indeed, than Germany, France or the UK.
And its competitiveness – its unit labor costs – has slipped, as wages rose but productivity stagnated. As a consequence, Italian firms and Italian savers chose attractive opportunities elsewhere, and net direct investment turned outward. Italy’s investment reputation, however, is far worse than the reality.
To mitigate these problems, the government of Italy must make changes in national policy. The regulatory and institutional factors that damage productivity must change. Real wages must stop growing, at least for a time, until productivity accelerates. And fiscal policy – the relationship between spending and revenues – must change, so that deficits decline, eventually along with debt and debt service.
The remainder of this paper examines Italy’s macroeconomic environment and the structural problems that inhibit competitiveness; the microeconomic structure of Italy, together with its strengths in R&D, informational technology, design and engineering; the recent record of inbound foreign investment, and the exports associated with it; and finally, a series of recommendations for the government and a forecast of prospects for growth.

The document discusses the potential for knowledge societies to address major social and economic challenges. It identifies issues like aging populations, unemployment, energy crises, and more. It argues that knowledge has become a key driver of competitiveness and is reshaping economic growth patterns. A knowledge society relies on innovation, and between 70-80% of economic growth is due to new and better knowledge. Higher education institutions and universities play a role in developing knowledge societies through research, training skilled workers, and disseminating new ideas.
KEF-E-Challenges2015 conference
This presentation discusses lessons learned from Lithuania's 15 years of innovation policy making and identifies challenges going forward. Three key lessons are: 1) it is difficult to copy foreign practices without understanding the national context, so researchers should be engaged; 2) effective innovation requires business participation for commercialization, so businesses must be engaged; and 3) coordination of policy mixes and evaluation are needed for good results. Three main challenges are: 1) keeping priorities focused as defined in Lithuania's smart specialization strategy; 2) overcoming a culture of legalism and formalism in policy making; and 3) better aligning actors in the national innovation system toward common goals.
Community Supports for Ageing
The Global Ageing Experience Project conducted ethnographic research in 7 European countries to understand experiences of aging. Key findings include:
- People want to focus on their abilities rather than limitations and maintain independence.
- The home environment is crucial to quality of life as people age, providing memories, possessions and the space to spend their later years.
- Healthcare and support systems are large and complex, difficult for older people to navigate.
- However, older people are resilient and resourceful in managing their health and finding needed support. Understanding the individual experience of aging is important for developing appropriate services and policies.

Fiscal Priorities for Long-Run Growth
This paper discusses the Irish economy’s recent growth performance and considers its medium-and-long-term prospects for growth. A range of policy reforms to increase the economy’s long-run potential output are identified. The best way to sustain productivity growth is to increase investment in education and skills, particularly early years learning; to increase investment in the production, diffusion and use of new ideas, and to increase investment in productivity enhancing infrastructure.

NERI Post Budget Seminar, Michael Taft (UNITE)
The document discusses key economic issues facing Ireland, including slowing growth rates and uncertainties around tax regimes and interest rates. It argues that cutting taxes now would reduce revenue when uncertainties exist. Instead, it advocates increasing investment in infrastructure, education, reducing inequality, and possibly raising taxes to fund higher spending on services and drive long-term growth through improving productivity and living standards. The choices for the next government are described as either cutting or raising taxes, shrinking or expanding investment and the social state.

This document summarizes a presentation about funding universal health and social care in Ireland. It discusses how health is different from other goods due to information issues and market failures. It also reviews Ireland's stated health policy objectives and notes some failures to achieve them, including the retention of fees. The presentation argues that universal coverage should include all cost-effective services and explicitly set priorities. It notes that an aging population will increase costs slightly but changing demographics may offset some costs. The document concludes that universal coverage is achievable within current spending through reforms like a single health contribution and addressing legacy issues like private insurance.

State crafting: Changes and challenges for managing the public finances
Presentation at Resolution Foundation event putting the public finances into context ahead of the next election.
Border towns and spaces of (in)visibility.pdf
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
