Britain's population is ageing fast.

Britain's population is ageing fast. The number of people older than 85 is expected to double by 2030. Yet the elderly are badly served by the housing market. Although 71% of people over the age of 65 own their homes outright, lots still live in large family houses. That is bad for old people, and contributes to Britain's worsening housing shortage http://econ.st/1f7Mkxk
