These facts and figures have been developed as a result of the many enquirers who have contacted us needing statistics on a wide range of topics of relevance to older people. It is updated annually and gives information about older people throughout the United Kingdom but, because administrative structures are different, in some cases statistics are given for Great Britain (i.e. England, Scotland and Wales only), or in some cases England or England and Wales only. These figures are marked accordingly.

This is the 9th in a series of annual reports aiming to provide an independent assessment of progress in eliminating poverty and reducing social exclusion. It covers issues from work and education to health and housing. The analysis is built around a set of 50 indicators organised into 6 chapters. Four of the chapters are focused on particular age groups, namely children, young adults aged under 25, adults aged 25 to retirement, and adults above retirement. In addition, there is a chapter looking at low income and one looking at community issues. Among the findings are that half of all children still in poverty are living in families doing paid work. It concludes that unless the scale of in-work poverty can be reduced, future substantial reductions in child poverty are very unlikely. The big fall in poverty among pensioners has been a major success of the anti-poverty strategy. By contrast, the failure to reduce poverty among working-age adults has been a major weakness. Progress in the numbers reaching ‘headline’ standards at age 11 and 16 has been made but this diverts attention from the quarter of 19-year-olds who fail to reach a minimum educational standard.
