Summary:
In this document, we report the quantitative results of the Centre for Ageing Better (CfAB) mixed-methods project. In brief, the study’s initial aims were to describe this group, define a ‘good’ later life, identify those at risk of missing-out on one and explore the relationship between this risk and measures of well-being. The study then aimed to quantify the frequency of key life-events (e.g. retirement or becoming a carer) and describe their relationships with well-being and financial status. The final quantitative aim was to examine how the experiences of this cohort (people in their 50s and 60s in 2018) changed over calendar time by comparing the current cohort with people of a similar age in 2002. This research was commissioned by the Centre for Ageing Better and produced by University College London. Ageing Better also commissioned complementary qualitative research from the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR). Ageing Better have produced a summary report that brings together both elements of the research and outlines their recommendations. Both reports are available to download from the Centre for Ageing Better’s website. This report does not necessarily reflect the Centre for Ageing Better’s views.
