Current and projected trends in population ageing for local authorities, regions and countries across the UK based on 2019 estimates and 2018-based subnational population projections. Whilst national-level ageing trends are important, the subnational ageing tool allows to uncover how these differ at a local level. Even neighbouring local authorities can have considerably different ageing profiles, for example, Brighton and Hove, and Lewes. Older people are more likely to live near AONBs (Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty), National Parks and the coast; younger people are more likely to live in cities. Across the UK, Wales has the oldest population, followed by Scotland, then England and Northern Ireland has the youngest population. Migration of older people is driven by movement away from major cities to rural and coastal areas. Employment rates for older workers are lower than for younger workers across all UK regions. The average median age of local authorities in the UK is projected to increase between 2018 and 2043 with some of the greatest increases projected to be in Northern Ireland. Between 2018 and 2043, rural areas are projected to experience some of the largest increases in the proportion of one-person households containing an older person. (Edited publisher abstract)

This report present the findings and conclusions of research undertaken in the context of research projects carried out by a consortium of ENEPRI member institutes. This report is a contribution to Work Package 5 of the ANCIEN project, which focuses on the future of long-term care for the elderly in Europe. This report analyses the quality assurance policies for long-term care (LTC) in the following countries: Austria, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. First, it discusses quality assurance in LTC by analysing: the dimensions of quality, the policy frameworks for quality in LTC, the different levels of development of LTC quality policies at the international, national, organisational, and individual levels. Second, it describes the methodology for collecting and analysing data on quality policies in the selected countries. Finally, it discusses the results, identifying four clusters of countries based on quality policies and indicators for LTC. These clusters are compared to the clusters identified in Work Package 1 of the ANCIEN project. Policy recommendations are proposed.

This report present the findings and conclusions of research undertaken in the context of research projects carried out by a consortium of ENEPRI member institutes. This report is a contribution to Work Package 5 of the ANCIEN project, which focuses on the future of long-term care for the elderly in Europe. The report presents the quality indicators that were collected by the ANCIEN project partners in each country. The main contribution of this report is a classification of the quality assurance indicators in different European countries according to three dimensions: organisation type; quality dimensions; and system dimensions. The countries that provided quality indicators, which are used at a national level or are recommended to be used at a local level by a national authority, are: Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. In total, 390 quality indicators were collected. Each quality indicator has been assigned to one or more options in each dimension.

This statistical release looks at the ways in which vulnerable groups, including older adults and those with a self-defined disability or who are Equality Act Disabled, normally receive support from their family, friends and wider community. This could be having help with shopping, providing or cooking meals or looking after grandchildren. It aims to develop a greater understanding of how a period of isolation, such as during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, might impact those in need of extra support. Data is at the UK level. Where this has not been possible, England-level data have been used. (Edited publisher abstract)

This report provides an analysis of differences in ageing across regions and local authorities in the UK in order to understand the drivers of those differences and the implications for policy. The report shows that gaps in average ages vary substantially across the UK. The age differences between local areas have also grown. In 2001, 15 local authorities in the UK had an average age 10 per cent higher than the national average, and 17 had an average age 10 per cent lower than the national average. Recent figures for 2018, show that these have increased to 33 and 39 local authorities, respectively. This divergence has been driven primarily by differences in birth and migration rates. The report highlights the implications of demographic divergence for local authorities in relation to local services, economies, and politics. These include growing differences in demand for social care services, with this demand mapping increasingly poorly onto councils’ existing revenue-raising potential. (Edited publisher abstract)

A collation of suicide statistics for the UK, England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland using information available from the official statistics bodies for the years 2012-2014. The document provides data and a description of the suicide rates in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, identifying trends and including breakdowns by age group. It also provides details about how to use suicide data and the differences between countries’ ways of producing them. It reports that there were 6,581 suicides in the UK and Republic of Ireland, in 2014. The figures suggest that rates of suicide in men are decreasing and female rates are increasing, although men remain more than three times more likely to take their own lives than women across the UK and Republic of Ireland.
