Understand population change and the implications for the care customer in the next 20 years
This webinar explores population-level ageing, examining drivers of change in the age-structure of the population such as fertility, mortality, and migration. We also discuss shifts in living arrangements, family formation, and dissolution, and their impact on older people's circumstances and sources of support. Additionally, we examine socio-economic differences across cohorts and discussed their implications for the changing care landscape over the next 20 years.
Learning Outcomes
- Understand how the age structure of the UK population is changing
- The implications of recent demographic and socio-economic changes for the future care customer
