Care Poverty and Unmet Needs

Inequalities in Theory and Practice

Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.

As populations age around the world, there is an urgent need to address the inadequate and unequal provision of care and support to older and disabled people.

This book represents the first collective effort to use the concept of care poverty to analyse unmet needs and inequalities in care at an international level and from a social policy perspective. It presents pioneering empirical studies and novel theoretical and methodological approaches to unmet needs and care poverty.

This volume points the way forward for international care research and, in particular, for the growing field of research on inadequate care and support.
