How Public Services are Affected by Changes in Society

Course modified date: 12 July 2022

Learn more about how public services are affected by changes in society. This course is ideal for intermediate learners.

Introduction 
In the UK there are currently more people here than there has ever been, and we are all living for longer; this will affect our Public Services. 
What do you think the effects of this will be on the following Public Services?
• Border Force
• Police
• Paramedics
• Local councils

Social changes also affect the levels of use our Public Services have. 
Examples of social change are:
• The growth of an ageing population
• Patterns of health/illness
• Immigration

These changes are clearly going to affect the Public Services. It may mean that these Public Services are relied upon more than ever, in order to keep up with the demands of our changing society.

You will learn 

  1. Population growth
  2. Changes in use and levels
  3. Strains on Public Services
  4. Attitudes towards Public Services
