Research interests
- Inequalities in later life, particularly inequalities in the incomes of older people, equity in health and social care, and inequalities amongst ethnic elders in the UK
- Informal carers, paid employment and resources
- The retirement prospects of future generations of elders, particularly the building and use of different types of policy tools for modelling income, pensions, health, incapacity, demand and supply of formal and informal care amongst older people in the future
- A unifying theme throughout much of my research is the use of a dynamic, life course perspective.
