This and previous English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) reports present a detailed picture of the lives of people in England aged 50 and over. This report of wave 5 uses data based on interviews with 10,274 people (including 9,000 "core" participants), collected from July 2010 to June 2011 inclusive, a period of considerable change with the installatoin of the Coalition government and the start of a period of austerity. The report discusses three main themes: pension wealth; social detachment in older age; and health and psychological well-being. A chapter on methodology explains the sample design, interview content and the approach to fieldwork. Reference tables on the economic, social and health domains summarise important variables collected by ELSA. Design and collection was carried out as a collaboration between the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at University College London (UCL), the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen), and the School of Social Sciences at the University of Manchester.
