In 2007 for the first time in the UK there were more people over State Pension age than children. This document was developed to ensure that as a society we are able to make the most of the demographic change. This will require a major cultural shift, where people are not defined by their age. This strategy sets out a programme of action to support the changes for individuals, families, the workplace, economy, public services and communities. Contents include: improving later life today; the challenge ahead, and a vision for the future; having the life you want; older people at the heart of families; engaging with work and the economy; improving financial support; better public services for later life; building communities for all ages.
