Who cares : the hidden crisis of caregiving, and how we solve it
Kenway, Emily2023
Book
Around the world, millions of people are quietly caring for long-term unwell, elderly or disabled loved ones; one-in-eight people in the UK and a sixth of the total US population, with comparable proportions across the globe. For many, this is a full-time job, saving our economies billions each year. Yet when writer, activist and former policy advisor Emily Kenway found herself in the painful position of caring for her mother, she discovered that provision for people in her situation was, at best, hopelessly inadequate and, at worst, completely non-existent. Deftly blending memoir, polemic and deeply researched investigation, this book lifts the lid on a subject society has never been willing to confront.
