Midway between Manchester and Mumbai: the living arrangements of older Indians living in the UK

摘要

Improved evidence on the living arrangements of older people is crucial for unravelling the complex interplay between living arrangements, health status and the provision and receipt of informal care. Such evidence is also critical for informing the design of policies and local interventions aimed at safeguarding and improving older people’s wellbeing. This Briefing Paper contributes to our understanding of the living arrangements of older people of Indian heritage living in the UK, comparing their circumstances to those of older people from the White majority population as well as older people living in India.
