• What is the problem or issue the decision is trying to address?
• Do children experience this problem differently from adults?
Common Strategic Policy 2024-2026 (P.21/2024): Amendment by Deputy I. Gardiner of St. Helier North aimed to support the health provisions and economic prosperity of older people, ensure homes are designed so an ageing population can continue living independently, and support lifelong learning, retraining and flexible roles are available for older workers. The Amendments proposed by the Council of Ministers support the principle of that Amendment but insert additional requirements to consider this alongside rising levels of disability and declining birth rates.
• The health, housing and economic implications of an ageing population, with its associated rising levels of disability, and the support required to ensure positive outcomes.
• Yes, children experience this problem differently from adults, as the ageing population and older age-related disabilities only apply to adults.
- Which groups of children and young people are likely to be affected?
Groups of children could include early years, primary or secondary education; young adults; children with additional learning needs; disabled children; children living in poverty; children from particular ethnic backgrounds; migrants; refugees; care experienced children and LGBTQ+ children
No children will likely be affected by the decision as it is aimed at older people. The reference to declining birth rates is only included as it is relevant to the effect this has on wider population policy planning, which includes the levels of working age population and the levels of care needed to support an ageing population.
- What is the likely impact of the proposed decision on children and on their rights?
• Identify any potential positive OR negative impacts and include indirect impacts on children and their rights as described in the UNCRC
• Will different groups of children be affected differently by this decision?
No positive or negative impacts have been identified in relation to children's rights. Page - 2
