| Annotation | This article reviews future demographic and household changes, and examines the implications of an increase in demand for care from a group deemed to have substantial support needs. It asks questions about the main factors affecting the supply side of family care; the extent to which older people could provide for care from their own resources, thereby reducing the need to rely on family care; and the idea of long-term insurance for health and social care. |
