The findings from a report which describes the likely changes in the age structure of the black and minority groups in England and Wales are summarised and reviewed. The report 'The future ageing of the ethnic minority population of England and Wales', published by the Centre for Policy on Ageing and Runnymede, uses data on fertility, mortality and migration to make projections of the number and profile of older people from ethnic minorities. Although it is difficult to make accurate predictions, the report is recommended for planners to think about the types and amount of support that may be needed in the future.
