No matter how hard we try to prevent it, all of us are getting older. In less than 20 years one in four people in the UK will be over 65. But what issues do people come across as they age? Older people often experience things such as discrimination or health problems that can make life much harder for them. This book explores living longer and how we can all live a healthy, happy long life. The information inside comes from a variety of sources, including newspapers, magazines, government reports and charity groups; providing different perspectives on challenging topics. At the end of the book is a selection of activities that will encourage interaction, literacy, critical thinking and independent research. Content is accessible and engaging, tailored primarily towards the 11 to 18 age group.
