  2. I've been able to listen to music a bit more often than before, for short periods at least (tl;dr: long covid) and it just feels so so good. I can't tell you how much it does and means to me.

    Anyway, I've been a bit late to the party, but I'm really obsessed with Lizzy McAlpine's "Older" album. It's so beautiful: wonderful voice, meaningful lyrics, exceptional instrumentation and production (check out the "making of" documentary as well!). It just feels so real.

    Give it a listen if you're into indie/alternative/.. or just want to hear something new.

  3. 📝 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.

  5. 'Rather than trying to “fix” falling #birthrates, #policymakers should prepare for an #older #population – from rethinking how #oldage support is funded, to enabling people to remain in #work for longer. “Simply telling people to have more #babies is unlikely to work,” said CPC-CG member Dr Bernice Kuang' (Department of #SocialStatistics and #Demography at the University of #Southampton), who spoke with #TheGuardian last week about the latest #ONS #PopulationProjections.
