Experience Level: Expert
In particular we are looking for a piece which can be modularized (so we can use sections of it in blogs or landing pages) but has the style and tone of a single (journalistic) article when presented in the whole (as a resource piece).
This piece of work may or may not differ from the copy you are used to writing, as on the one hand it needs to be able to refer to live data from the ONS to support it, and on the other requires an element of social commentary.
Specifically we require a piece as follows....
The balance of the British population:
Last year for the first time, the number of retired people in the UK was equal to the number of young dependents (children and younger adults in education).
Increasing longevity:
(Which accounts for the ratio stated above)
We live longer but at which point are we no longer able to fend for ourselves? Conversely, how might an older person redefine their role? Generally, is their a point at which it becomes too difficult to learn and assimulate new concepts? Is there a point at which our health is critically compromised?
The burden on the state:
Rising medical costs, pension payments: (relates to longevity)
Proposed working age increases (related to state burden)
The need to adjust peoples outlook towards their responsibilities. Especially in light of the proven uncertainties around how financial institutions perform and how state funda are ever more thinly spread over a larger dependent population
This is bi-directional:
Older peoples attitudes towards how they cater for their families and themselves
Younger peoples attitudes toward caring for older relatives.
(You will be aware there are clear cultural differences between family life in northern and southern europe)
The requirement for families to act in a more cohesive and socially integrated way to weather the social challenges and for everyone to remain as secure as possible.
