Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the projected growth of specific elderly age groups in the UK.
  • To highlight the increasing proportion of the very elderly population.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of UK population statistics over the last 25 years.
  • Projection of future demographic trends for age groups 75 and over, and 85 and over.

Main Results:
