Do we really value care?

The provision of care for dependents young and old is one of the great challenges of the modern age.

The last 60 years have seen significant shifts in family and working lives with greater choice and autonomy bringing great gains for human freedom.

Yet many private and public challenges and dilemmas remain. The social care system faces ever-rising demands and pressures. The vital skilled work of care – for the young, the elderly, the sick – remains undervalued and under-invested in. And women remain over-represented in the domain of care, in both the domestic realm and in the public economy.

Amidst challenging demographics, declining birth-rates, and the evolving dynamics of modern family life, can we achieve a policy settlement that respects gender equality, meets the rising social need for care and attention, and properly rewards and recognises those who provide it? How do we provide greater support to the networks of relationships that care relies upon?

Join David Goodhart and Vicky Pryce at the RSA to debate care, equality, and social progress in the next decade of the 21st century.

Speakers

David Goodhart, Head of Demography, Immigration & Integration at Policy Exchange
Vicky Pryce, economist
