This is a compendium of 63 measures, survey scales and their associated data sources looking at outcomes at the individual level related to ageing and later life.

Retirement from work is a major life transition. For many, retirement from paid employment is something to look forward to. But for others, retirement can pose many challenges and they find it difficult to adjust to their new role and circumstances.

This analysis of the most recent data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing, carried out by the Centre for Ageing Better, shows attitudes about ageing taken from a sample of more than 6,000 people aged 50 and over in England.

Ageing Better commissioned participatory research into community contributions in later life to better understand how older people currently contribute to and are supported by their communities.

This review of community contributions in later life calls on charities, voluntary organisations and the public sector to do more to support and sustain the good will and effort of older volunteers.

This report identifies the elements of high-quality and innovative practice in the provision of home adaptations for older people. It highlights practical examples of local areas that are organising and delivering adaptations effectively.

An exploration of what large employers are doing to support employees in their mid-life through to retirement, the delivery of interventions and the business context that led to interventions.

Showcasing four case studies, this report outlines the response to the recommendation to introduce a ‘mid-life MOT’ in John Cridland’s independent review of state pension age.
