| Description: | This report aims to bring together some facts
and figures about older people in Ireland today,
drawing on a range of statistical sources
and studies. It provides both a snapshot of
the current situation and some discussion of
recent trends and prospects for the future.
The information will be particularly useful when
developing policies that affect older people, such
as the National Action Plan for Social Inclusion
(NAPinclusion) and policy on pensions.
We start the report by describing the main trends
in numbers of older people and their importance
in the overall population. We then go on to look
at the following topics:
the households in which older people live;
their socio-economic circumstances including
income and material wellbeing;
their housing and neighbourhood
environment;
their health and social contact; and
prospects for the future and data gaps. |
