Abstract

The UK is the home or second home of 18% of the total population (2021) from an ethnic minority background. For some of these population groups, migration occurred during the mid-twentieth century, and this means they now form part of the elderly population, which has led to a rapidly changing profile of the older UK population. Living in a culturally different country has also created challenges for the elderly ethnic population where cultural expectations around care are impacted by their family’s capacity to provide care and the availability (or not) of culturally appropriate services.
