| Annotation | This is one of ten background papers providing. detailed analysis and support for the report, Engaging With Care: A Vision For The Health And Care Workforce Of England, published by the Nuffield Trust in September 2007. The report, together with the set of background papers, provides an analysis of current policies and trends and identifies routes for future action. The report identifies trends and challenges that can help define the common ground in health and care policy, while allowing for different policy directions at national and local levels. This background paper presents a literature review, the aim of which was to identify: who provides informal care, in what numbers and with what intensity; the future trends in supply and demand of informal care; how informal care is experienced by those who provide and receive it; the societal and individual costs of providing informal care; motivations to provide informal care despite these costs; and how policy may promote informal caring and support those who provide it.
