Older People in Wales

Older People's Commissioner for Wales: "State of the Nation" - An overview of growing older in Wales

This report sets out a range of data and evidence about the older population in Wales. We have used existing research and evidence about Wales and about other countries, and we have also conducted our own research about some of the issues.

This State of the Nation report puts a spotlight on those areas where we need to make improvements, and where we need to build the evidence. Overall, it shows us that Wales can be the best place in the world to grow older and that we have some of the foundations in place. We all have a role to play in turning this into a reality, and we will all benefit.
