Demographics - 1 GM population is set to grow by 13% by 2039 to reach 3.1 million, it will be driven by growth in the number of older people: By 2039 GM’s working age population is set to grow by 5%; the number of GM residents aged 65+ will expand by 53% over the same period to reach 650,000 The same period will see a doubling of the number of over 85s in GM, to over 100,000 Overall, the number of residents over 50 in GM will grow by a third by 2039 Currently 93.6% of over 50s in GM are from White ethnic groups, with 4.4% from Asian ethnic groups, 1.2% from Black ethnic groups and 0.8% mixed race or other ethnicities. .

Demographics - 2 More than one-fifth of GM’s 50-64 year olds are out of work, considerably higher than the national average. Increasing the employment rate of the over 50s to the all age GM average could increase GVA by as much as £901.6m. Evidence from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) suggests worsening of levels of health outcomes for younger-old cohorts in the poorest 20% of the population, with increased levels of inequalities between the richest and poorest.
