Carers and caring are contemporary global issues of growing
political and societal significance. Changing demographics in the
UK and beyond, as well as policy drivers promoting community-based
living, mean that the family is increasingly the site of care for
relatives with long term support needs. Whilst there is a plethora
of literature on carers it tends to be situated in separate subject
areas. For the first time Family Carers and Caring brings together
a range of material and evidence about carers from different
sources presented in an accessible and yet academically informed
way. Milne and Larkin help to make sense of the complexities of
family carers and caring, carving a coherent path through the
academic, policy, socio-political, and practice terrain. Family
Carers and Caring is explicitly underpinned by principles of social
justice and rights, focusing on how inequalities intersect with
caring.
