Social care provision in Great Britain: exploring gender, cohort, and life stage differences
Social care provision in Great Britain: exploring gender, cohort, and life stage differences
Informal caregiving is defined as providing assistance to someone who is sick, disabled or elderly, whom you look after or give special help to in a non-professional capacity. They can be living in the same household as you, or not.
Understanding the gender care gap is essential for promoting gender equality. By investigating how caring by gender has changed over time, we can also provide an assessment of the prevalence of informal caregiving in more recent generations, particularly as the population ages.
Examining different age groups and cohorts can highlight disparities in caregiving that result from demographic, economic, and social changes. These insights can help shape policies that ensure all cohorts receive fair support and resources throughout their lifespan caregiving journeys.

Abstract
Informal caregiving is defined as providing assistance to someone who is sick, disabled or elderly, whom you look after or give special help to in a non-professional capacity. They can be living in the same household as you, or not.
Understanding the gender care gap is essential for promoting gender equality. By investigating how caring by gender has changed over time, we can also provide an assessment of the prevalence of informal caregiving in more recent generations, particularly as the population ages.
Examining different age groups and cohorts can highlight disparities in caregiving that result from demographic, economic, and social changes. These insights can help shape policies that ensure all cohorts receive fair support and resources throughout their lifespan caregiving journeys.
