Today we release our State of Ageing 2025 infographics. These 40 free infographics are arranged in the same themes as our State of Ageing report: financial security, demographic changes and trends of our ageing population, older people's experience in work, ageing and health, the quality of England's homes and older people's contributions to society. We welcome other organisations, researchers, and individuals using these infographics on social media or in workshops as a collaborative and interactive way of exploring the report rapidly.
