Mapping age and disability discrimination

This report gives insights into the quantitative analysis in Year 2 of the Intersectional Stigma of Place-Based Ageing (ISPA) Project, reporting on some of the descriptive findings across Scotland and results from the regression analysis using UK Data.

The quantitative analysis has focused on analysis of UK-based survey data, including the UK Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS or Understanding Society) and the Scottish Household Survey (SHS). It examines which areas of the UK have higher, or lower, than expected discrimination and identifies the prevalence of disabled and/or older adults across each of the 32 Scottish local authorities in relation to deprivation.

This analysis will be shared among ISPA's Inclusive Living Alliance and other stakeholders across Scotland, to give an overview of deprivation, disability and ageing in their local authorities.
