This looks set to be a brilliant event on understanding the needs of lower-income families, with many great speakers, including CPC-CG member Athina Vlachantoni, who will discuss how we should properly value both paid and unpaid work.

Unsung Britain Final Conference

The 13 million working-age families across the poorest half of the country, who at various times have been dubbed the ‘squeezed middle’, ‘just about managing families’ and ‘alarm clock Britain’ are widely courted by politicians of all persuasions. No party can win elections without their votes, and the country cannot succeed without their needs being met. And yet they are poorly understood and badly served in the 21sr century so far, which is why we have dubbed them ‘Unsung Britain’.

Great article on #frailty !!!

"...persistent gap between #algorithmic tools and #clinical needs..."

"...models optimised on #outcomes cannot distinguish between those who lack [...] capacities and those who experience adverse outcomes..."

Older persons often remain invisible during humanitarian crises. Where are they? What do they need? Are their priorities adequately considered?

Business Insider

America's oldest workers gravitate towards one particular career field

Many of the 550,000 Americans 80 and older who still work do jobs that improve the lives of other 80-year-olds. They're home health aides and nurses.
