Policy challenges of a changing older population - 7 SPEAKERS DTSTART:20120420T100000Z DTEND:20120420T131500Z UID:TALK36955@talks.cam.ac.uk CONTACT:Louise Rushworth DESCRIPTION:What will the population of 2030 be like? How would it be diff erent today\, with reference to health and ageing? What evidence is there to support this and how will that affect business and policy issues today? \n\n\nIt is well known that the population of the UK is becoming an older population. Official projections for Cambridgeshire\, for example\, sugge st an increase of 69% in the number of persons aged 65+ from 2011 to 2031\ , compared with an increase of 19% in the total population\; on that proje ction\, persons aged 65+ will increase from 17% to 24% of the county popul ation over those two decades. The problems arising from growth in the olde r population is a focus of much concern\, particularly as regards the impl ications for funding pensions and the issues of providing medical and soci al care. But the situation is complicated by changes in how healthy and a ctive people are at any given age. 65-year olds are in general healthier and more active now than in previous generations (which is partly why the government expects them to go on working)\; if this kind of trend continue s\, the significance of having an “older population” may change dramat ically.\n\nThis 'Policy Fen' event will consider\n• the evidence about t rends in health and activity of the older population - 'is there a problem ?'\n• the implications for both private and public sectors - 'how does t hat affect what we do?'\n• the possible responses of local government an d service providers – in planning\, transport\, social care and housing - 'what are we doing / how are we planning to solve the problem?'\n\nSourc e for population projection\n\nAgenda:\n\n11 am: Registration \n11.25 am: Introduction to the session and speakers (David Howarth\, University o f Cambridge)\n11.30am: Evidence base: Presentation of the evidence availab le on what the population might be like in 2030\, with particular referenc e to health\, housing\, community and transport.\n\nContributors include: \nDr Abhijit C.
