A discussion and evidence briefing which examines the growing policy focus on disability and health-related economic inactivity, and highlights the often overlooked impact of disability and caring responsibilities on household living standards across the UK.
This briefing reviews recent trends and drivers in disability and caring, summarises the policy context shaping these developments, and considers emerging implications for employability, inclusion, and economic outcomes.
The paper also outlines potential policy responses and provides insight for colleagues working across employability, poverty reduction, social inclusion, health and social care, and equality policy.
