Spotlight Report 2008 – Spotlights on older people in the UK

This report looks at the facts and figures on poverty, and on how people dependent on a state pension cope with daily living costs; on isolation, mobility and access to essential services; on levels of satisfaction with quality of life; on the scarcity of employment and learning opportunities; and on the way our society's attitudes to age have tacitly supported the institutionalised ageism within our health and social care systems. Spotlight also shows whether things are getting better or worse for our older generation.
