Publisher's Synopsis
Later life is commonly pictured as a time of restricted activity and mobility by, for example, providers for health and social services. On the other hand, others - such as travel agents and gardening tools manufacturers - depict later life as a time of increased freedom to travel and involvement in leisure pursuits. This report presents a statistical picture of activity and mobility in later life, focusing on: employment in later life, active leisure pursuits, helping others, and personal mobility inside and outside the home. All the statistics come from national survey data.
