P3 In this assessment I will be explaining recent demographic change within their home country.
Demographic is a term used to describe the study of changes in the size and structure of the population. The demographic examine wider changes in the population.
Through researching looking at older people and how they caused demographic changes in home county (England) i have found out that now people will live much longer, more than they used to. Throughout year’s things like the health care and the environment has improved meaning people are more able to receive better care which benefits their health. Now a days there are many medicines and cures that can expand a person life time, elderly people receive treatment that they would not have many years ago. Because elderly people have a longer life expectancy the care provided for them will be much longer and centres that have social care providers will need to make sure that the care is still being given. From a JRF program paper (http://www.cpc.ac.uk/resources/downloads/JRF_report_Falkingham_2010.pdf) its states that “Older people who need a lot of support associated with physical frailty, chronic conditions and/or multiple impairments (including dementia) are Most likely to be over 85 years old, A minority will be younger” this shows that people all the way to 85 still are in need of help and can live up to that age or higher. The population aged 85 and over i.e. the oldest olds the fastest growing age group in the entire UK population. Their numbers have risen by nearly 680,000 in the last 25 years, reaching 1.3 million in 2007. Today the population aged 85 and over represents 2.1% of the total population of the UK.
When looking at immigrants and emigrants and how they caused demographic changes in the UK it is said that immigrating into our country leaves people who live in the UK with fewer jobs also they will need to provide more staff on the health care board as more people are living in the country.

    Due to the aging economy, the elderly is expected to increase. According to Weiner, M. J. & Tilly, J. (2013) “Between 2000 and 2050, the number of older people is projected to increase by 135%. Moreover, the population aged 85 and over, which is the group most likely to need health and long-term care services, is projected to increase by 350%. Over this time period, the proportion of the population that is over the age of 65 will increase from 12.7% in 2000 to 20.3% in 2050; the proportion of the population that is age 85 and older will increase from 1.6% in 2000 to 4.8% in 2050.”(Para 2). The aging population will have a huge effect on health care because of the large amount of elderly who will need acute care. Also because there is a shortage of health care professionals such as nurses and other workers, many long- term care facilities are left with workers that do not have skills to perform their jobs correctly. Also the facilities are paying low rates making it hard to hire new employees and to keep old employees. According to Weiner, M. J.…

    The United States experienced an "explosion" of births after World War II and sociologist refer to this resulting group of people as baby boomers. The first of about 76 million baby boomers recently turned 65 and they are looking forward to a life expectancy that is higher than that of any previous generation. The average life expectancy in the 1900s in our country was only 47 years old? Today it is a whopping 37-year increase to 78, which is the biggest increase in all of recorded history. According to the CDC, people are living to be older than they ever have due to better nutrition and healthcare. Because of this dramatic growth in both the number and percentage of older adults, the CDC has made improving the health status and addressing the health needs of this age group one of its top agency priorities.…
