Explore the challenges and opportunities of the UK's ageing population on services, economy, and policies.

The UK’s ageing population is reshaping society, with both challenges and opportunities. By 2072, 27% of the population is projected to be aged 65 and over, compared to just 13% in 1972. Some areas already have over a third of their residents in this age group.

This demographic shift places growing demands on healthcare, pensions, and housing. The NHS is pivoting towards chronic disease management and home care, while urban planners are focusing on creating age-friendly environments, from retirement villages to tech-enabled homes.

Policymakers are responding with pension reforms, support for later-life employment, and innovations in housing design.

Whether you’re a policymaker, business leader, or curious citizen, this report offers vital insights into the future of our ageing society.
