Twenty-one per cent of people reported a disability in 2018/19, an increase from 19 per cent in 2008/09. Increases in the percentage of working-age adults (14 to 19 per cent) and children (six to eight per cent) reporting a disability were the main drivers of this. However, this period also saw the percentage of State Pension age adults with a disability decrease, from 47 to 44 per cent. State Pension age for women has been increasing since 2010, so this group has been gradually representing an older section of the population.
