On 12 January 2012, the Department for Work and Pensions(DWP) published an in-house research report ‘Attitudes to Age in Britain 2010-11′.

The report shows that age-related discrimination and stereotyping remain rooted in British society. The findings are based on new analysis from the ONS Opinions Survey.

The report looks at the factors that are associated with age discrimination and prejudice and compares attitudes between two key groups, people in their 20s and people aged 70 and over.

Whilst not directly related to the built environment the research can help us understand how to tap into key talent.
