Unpaid #carers show care and compassion for other in their lives - which makes it so wrong that so many are forced to get by on low incomes that don't meet their household needs. This #CarersWeek we want to highlight that injustice, and show our support for a society where no carer is left in poverty.

📝 The UK government's #PensionsCommission interim report - it's encouraging to see CPC-CG research referenced and acknowledged in the report, which sets out the challenges that the UK's #pensions system is facing to 2050.
The report cites research led by CPC-CG Co-Director Professor Maria Evandrou, which shows that policies encouraging #older adults to remain in #employment are in direct conflict with the rising reliance on informal #carers to provide #socialcare.
