| Annotation | There is wide recognition that, as the population ages, demand for social care will increase. The majority of care provision is likely to remain unpaid care; and it is older people themselves who are expected to meet a large share of this rising demand. This discussion paper is based on and responds to research published by the ILC UK in collaboration with the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen), 'Living and caring? An investigation of the experiences of older carers'. Its purpose is to provide accompanying policy analysis and discussion to 'Living and caring?' for both general and specialist readerships. It aims to provoke discussion, by helping the reader to make sense of care provision, exploring the evidence providing in 'Living and caring?', and looking at improving older carers' quality of life and the future of carers policy.
