		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this month, the ILC-UK published research about how patterns of inheritance are changing. The research, which was undertaken in partnership with NatCen and made possible by a grant from Norwich Union, shows what many people would suspect: average bequests received are increasing. What perhaps is unexpected, and certainly suprised us, is the rate of increase: an increase of over [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The issue of how to fund older people’s long-term care is one of the trickiest problems confronting policymakers. The only agreement is that reform is needed, and that demand for care will increase in coming decades.  Models of state-funded universal free care for older people have usually dominated debate. 
However, after a decade of rising [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At last night’s event, research findings which show that even the ‘older old&#8217; (those 75 years and older) can age successful were presented. But what was meant by successful aging? Those indivdiuals who were found to be aging successfully had high mental quality of life but low physical quality of life.  That is, the &#8216;older [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night’s launch of a new ILC-UK/CLG discussion paper saw a debate on how the built environment should be planned to better anticipate the demands of population ageing. The launch was very much intended to start a discussion; the issue is still surprisingly absent in many policy discussions, and the concept of ‘lifetime neighbourhoods’ itself [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many observers might ask, what is the relevance of human rights to an ageing population? The view that exclusion and poverty are inevitable facets of ageing may indeed obscure the obvious, that it is exactly as we become more frail and vulnerable that our human rights are most at risk.  A series of different questions were tackled [...]]]></description>

During the last few years, a lot of time and attention has focused on pension reform. But, as everyone knows, there have also been lots of changes to other [...]]]></description>

Retirees in the UK are fitter and healthier than ever before. However, loneliness, isolation, disengagement and depression continue to stalk the lives of many in retirement. How can we access and use the latent capacity that exists in the retired population to organise local community groups, activities and networks that could help to prevent these [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The ILC-UK organised an event today on the sensitive topic of so-called ‘under-occupancy’ by older people. This is a topic we’ve been interested in for a while - we felt that our work on housing and planning had lead us to a contradiction between everyday industry talk of the need to ‘free up’ the ‘under-occupied’ [...]]]></description>

We have known for many years that mental health is closely linked to physical health. Quite how much so took many people by surprise when studies such as the famous Whitehall [...]]]></description>
