• Sommario/riassunto: This book provides an in-depth investigation into the concept of care poverty and unmet care needs, exploring inequalities in social care across various demographic groups, including older adults, people with disabilities, and their caregivers. Edited by leading academics, it combines theoretical frameworks, empirical studies, and international perspectives to examine the systemic challenges in addressing care needs. By analyzing topics such as social networks, formal and informal care sources, and long-term care systems, the book aims to highlight disparities in care provision and propose strategies for improving care policies and practices. It is intended for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in the fields of social policy, gerontology, and healthcare.
