Greater Manchester is experiencing a significant aging population, with over 780,000 residents aged 55 and over, accounting for 27.4% of the total population. This number is projected to grow, with an expected increase in the population aged 75+ by almost 50% by 2041, resulting in nearly 100,000 more residents. The aging population is becoming more diverse, with a notable rise in minority ethnic backgrounds among older adults. Additionally, financial insecurity and economic inactivity are rising challenges faced by older residents, highlighting the need for supportive policies and services.
