Radical Approaches to the Care Crisis
Policy Press (Verlag)
978-1-4473-7408-4 (ISBN)
Exploring the relationship between formal and informal care, this book develops ideas for a ‘caring economy’, showing the potential to integrate paid-for and unpaid care within a framework of solidarity based on the strengths of the community, working to improve the quality and quantity of state-funded care provision while sharing unpaid support more widely as a community responsibility.
Anne Gray, now retired from London South Bank University, has authored academic papers on older people’s social capital, sheltered housing and loneliness. She is also a campaigning activist for better services for seniors.
