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)

The state of ageing 2022: summary

This summary report uses the most up-to-date national data available to paint a picture of ageing in England today. The report has five chapters: health, homes, work, communities and a chapter setting out the context in which we are ageing. It looks at data from a wide range of sources such as the English Housing Survey, the GP Patient survey, the Health Survey for England and the Community Life Survey, as well as a host of official statistics from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and government sources such as the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities and the Department for Work and Pensions. The data shows that the experience of being older in England is getting considerably worse for many. Almost 1 in 5 people of pension age are now living in relative poverty, following a sharp increase (of 200,000 people) in the last year. This extends a worrying trend which first emerged in the middle of the last decade and means that there are now more than 2 million people of state pension age in the UK living in poverty. The pandemic has reversed progress on the employment of older people – the number of people aged 50 to 64 who are not engaged with the labour market in any way (that is, they are neither working nor looking for work) has risen by 228,000 since the start of the pandemic, and the employment rate in this group has fallen by 1.8 percentage points. In the most deprived areas, people can expect to live more than 17 years more with disabling health conditions while fewer than 1 in 10 homes have accessibility features for people with disabilities. The report makes a number of specific recommendations in relation to health, housing, work and communities, and calls for a cross-departmental strategy to coordinate government activity and funding to address the ageing population and level up the dramatic and growing inequality in the way we experience later life.

This release provides information from the annual Care Home Census for Adults in Scotland on the numbers of care homes, registered places, residents, admissions and discharges. Data are presented at Scotland and at Local Authority level, and cover the period from 2010/11 to 2020/21, excluding the year 2019/20.

On 31 March 2021, there were an estimated 33,353 residents aged 18 years and over in care homes – 11% fewer than 31 March 2011 (37,511). The estimated percentage occupancy on 31 March 2021 was 82%, compared with 88% on 31 March 2011. On 31 March 2021, there were an estimated 29,317 long stay residents in care homes for older people. Of these, an estimated 18,831 (64%) had dementia (either medically or non-medically diagnosed). Most care home provision is delivered by the private sector. The estimated number of residents in private sector care homes for older people decreased by 1,264 (5%) between 31 March 2011 and 31 March 2021. Over the same time period, the estimated number of residents decreased by 610 (19%) in the voluntary or not for profit sector, and by 1,269 (29%) in the Local Authority/Health Board sector. The estimated number of admissions by long stay residents to care homes for older people increased slightly (2%) in 2020/21, compared to 2018/19. For short stay and respite admissions, numbers declined sharply over the same time period by 20% and 68%, respectively, likely due to the impact of COVID-19. On 31 March 2021, there were 157 care homes for learning disabilities providing 1,542 places, 52 care homes for mental health problems providing 930 places, and 36 care homes for physical and sensory impairment providing 600 places.

Using the most recent data available, this report provides a comprehensive account of poverty based on the Social Metrics Commission’s measurement framework. It provides a detailed overview of the extent and nature of poverty in the UK today and original analysis that shows how this has changed since the first year where the data for the Commission’s measurement framework is available (2000/01). It also includes detailed factsheets which presents the findings on poverty by age, age group, gender and disability status of individuals. Based on the Commission's approach to measuring poverty, the report shows that there are 14.3 million people in poverty in the UK. This includes 8.3 million working age adults; 4.6 million children; and 1.3 million pension-age adults. Compared to previous reports, it finds that overall rates of poverty have changed relatively little since the millennium, although there have been changes in rates of poverty among different groups. It reports that of those in poverty, just under half (49 per cent) have also been in poverty for at least two of the previous three years; and nearly half (48 per cent) of people in poverty live in a family where someone is disabled.
