Ageing Without Children
Event Information
About this Event
We would like to introduce the little talked about subject of people ageing without children. People ageing without children are a largely invisible and ignored group and yet it is estimated that 1 in 5 people ageing in the UK do not have children.
Individuals are ageing without children for a wide range of reasons these include:
- those who have never been parents either through choice or through circumstance
- those whose children predeceased them
- those completely estranged from their children
- those whose children are unable to support them for another reason e.g. they have a long term disability or they are in prison
