141-E. The Future of Aging in the United Kingdom

The population of the United Kingdom (UK) is undergoing a massive age shift. By 2050, one in four British citizens will be over 65, causing many to wonder whether a financially secure and healthy later life is becoming increasingly unlikely for millions of people. This session will address these developments while focusing on innovations that could help the UK’s aging services sector achieve a different future. Hear about recent developments in the UK’s care sector, including a growing preference to age at home, significant expansion of small-scale home care providers, and a diverse array of initiatives supporting independence and healthy aging. Consider how these innovations could be applied to other countries around the globe, including the United States.
