Background
The population of the UK is growing in size and is also becoming increasingly older. In 2010, 17% of
the population were 65 or older. The number of people aged 85 years and older has more than doubled
over the last fifteen years to1.4 million, whilst the percentage of under 16s has fallen from 21% to 19%.
The population aged 65 years + will account for 23% of the total population by 2035; whilst the
proportion of the population aged between 16-64 normally considered to be economically active, is due
to fall from 65% to 59%
