Towards sustainable social care and independent living

.

Chapter 12 in The Future of Social Care, 2023, pp 172-183 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: In this final chapter we look at the increasingly important part that social care can play in a renewed economy which in the interests of the future of the planet shifts away from inadequately regulated production to a greater commitment to the rights and well-being of human beings and other living things, as well as of the environment. Instead of social care being seen as it now is as an economic cost and burden, its increasingly important role as economic and social wealth generator will come to be recognised as it is reconceived as part of an age seeking to prioritise green renewal.
