| Award/Grant Description |
Our project aims to use microsimulation modelling of individual life
histories to project policy-relevant aspects of population ageing in
Scotland. The project will be quantitative in nature and will focus on
microsimulations of how the care sector may change through time. It
will particularly focus on:
- healthy life expectancy and
- likelihood of receiving and/or giving informal care.
In
additon, we will incorporate such information as we are able to find in
the relevant literature regarding the impact of changing expectations
of care and support in older age.
The project will calibrate an
open-source microsimulation system to Scottish data from a variety of
sources including our focus groups. The project will be
multi-disciplinary, drawing on social policy, economics and demography.
It will be capacity building, since microsimulation is almost unknown
to the policy-making community in Scotland at present. It will address
policy issues on which Scotland already takes a different approach from
England and Wales. It will have a number of outputs and user
engagements. These include:
(1) Papers outlining the results
from the microsimulations, which describes the methods used and the
implications of the projections for policy over the next two decades
(2)
Two user seminars. The first will attempt to engage interested parties
with the work before substantive analysis has been undertaken. It will
explain the principles and benefits of microsimulation. The second will
engage this group and the policy community with the results of our
simulations. (3) It will also consider potential extensions to the
methodology.
