What are the consequences of growing old and needing care in a world shaped by inequality? Who provides the care? What are the challenges?
This groundbreaking book delves into conditions for ageing and caring, asking how they could be improved for different communities living in high-income welfare states.
Emphasising that equitable ageing depends on equitable care conditions, the contributors draw on extensive empirical research.
Packed with actionable policy and practice insights, this compelling volume charts a path toward a more just and inclusive future for ageing populations alongside all those providing care, whether as family members, friends or as paid workers.
