Task Groups
The main work of Years Ahead will be done through time-limited task groups with clear objectives to deal with specific issues. Each task group will
- analyse the current state of play
- identify policy issues
- report on further research that is needed
- make recommendations for action
Their work programmes will be time –defined and action orientated and the lifespan of each group will normally be 6-12 months.
There are currently four task groups:
- Implications of Demographic Change
- Worklessness in the 50+ Age Group
- Older People and the Research Agenda (download PDF report here)
- Arts and Older People
Other priorities identified by older people themselves include:
- Health
- Transport
- Age discrimination
- Social and economic inclusion
- Housing
