Ministers should do more to prepare for the impact of an ageing population, a group of leading charities has warned.
A poll by care provider Anchor of 2,200 adults found more than three quarters (77%) said the government was not ready to cope with changing UK demographics.
The survey results prompted the Ready for Ageing Alliance to say that action now was "crucial for a happier old age for future generations".
The government insisted it had an ambitious programme for the elderly.
