Older People in Scotland - Results from the Scottish Household Survey 1999-2002

This analysis of Scottish Household Survey (SHS)highlights trends in social and demographic characteristics. The report is based on 4 years of SHS data from 1999-2002 and follows on from an earlier report by the same authors which utilised data from 1999 - the first year of the SHS. In order to give a more detailed picture of the lives of older people, the SHS results are supplemented by census 2001 results, UK government statistics and findings from research.
