Middle aged Britons face 'miserable retirement'
Millions of British people in their late 40s and 50s are facing a miserable retirement living in poor health for longer, residing in unsuitable housing and dying without adequate care and support, according to a report by the National Council for Palliative Care (NCPC) and the National Care Forum (NCF).
The report, A 2030 Vision: Building Communities and Environments to Support People to Live Well and Die Well warns that urgent action is needed to deal with demographic and social changes, including an increase in the number of people aged 60 and over of over 5 million by 2030 to 19.9 million, more people living longer with chronic life-limiting conditions, growing numbers of people living alone and planned increases to the state pension age.
