Background
6
A quantitative survey of 2,421 UK adults was undertaken between 10th and 25th
September 2014.
2,221 interviews were conducted online. A further 200 interviews were conducted via Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI), to ensure a representative range of older people (aged 65+) were included.
The sample included boosts of adults aged 65+ to ensure robust coverage of this group.
Data were weighted by age, gender, region and household income to make the final dataset representative of the UK population.
The objective of the study was to explore support needs among over 65s in the UK.
Over a quarter of older people are concerned about current finances and over a third in relation to the future – both highest among 65-74s
