| Annotation | The baby boomers are more likely than previous generations to have surviving parents (and grandparents), and a significant minority may find themselves providing care to an older relative. This chapter looks at how this caring experience may affect their economic, social and physical well-being, and concludes that for many women this experience will lead to lower resources later in life. As well as being providers of informal care, the baby boomers may subsequently be recipients of informal care. Looking at the likely demand for and supply of formal care in 2020, there is a tension between the shift towards private domiciliary care and increased charges for state supported services, and demographic and labour market trends that tend to reduce the supply of informal care. |
