Women and employment in later life: the impact of long-term health conditions on labour market participation

Purpose: There is increasing interest in long-term conditions experienced singly and in combination. This paper aims to address this by considering the impact of long-term conditions on female labour market participation in later life. Design/methodology/approach: This literature review considers a variety of evidence and policy related to long-term conditions as experienced by women. Findings: The review suggests the importance of gender when considering long-term conditions and when considering employment because this is often gendered. There are several long-term conditions affecting women in particular that need to be considered by employers and policy makers. Research limitations/implications: This review scopes the literature offering some illustrative examples of long-term conditions. Practical implications: The review encourages practitioners and policy makers to include long-term conditions, as people age in thinking about ways to prevent, alleviate and respond to long-term conditions and to consider them in age-related initiatives in employment. Originality/value: The review addresses long-term conditions among women in later life, suggesting that multiple policy and practice responses may need to be considered together in the development of any strategies and guidance.

This is a brief summary of the findings of four studies that investigated the impact of the Care Act 2014. They were commissioned by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Policy Research Programme. It starts with setting out briefly the legal changes. The studies explored what had changed in adult social care because of the Act. The Care Act came into force in 2015 in England, although not all of it was fully implemented. This summary reports what the evaluations found out about the Act’s implementation, the problems encountered during implementation and remaining challenges. This summary was produced at the request of the Department of Health and Social Care to help understand the research evidence on what the Care Act has improved, where the aims of the Care Act have not been achieved, and what would be needed to achieve them.

While social work practice with people with dementia and their families has a long but largely hidden history, it is an emerging area of specialism. The increased incidence, prevalence and recognition of dementia suggest that this area of practice will expand and so learning from previous practice may offer helpful insights. This paper describes and reflects upon social work practice with ‘dements’ in the 1950s in England. It draws on a reading of a small book written by a psychiatric social worker, Miss M (Muriel) H Bree, outlining her role in providing after-care to patients with neuro-syphilis who had been discharged from hospital to live with their families between 1942 and 1952 through her consideration of 275 case records and seven illustrative case studies. As a historical document, Bree’s account presents a rich description of the patients and their social circumstances in post-war Britain; an account of practice from a hospital based setting that reached into the community, and of the engagement of a social worker with her clients and their family members. Threads and continuities with contemporary social work practice with people with dementia are explored; particularly work with family carers, younger people with dementia, and the value placed upon continuity of care.

There is concern that people with dementia may be at particular risk of elder abuse however there is little data to confirm such fears. This paper presents findings from an up-dated investigation of secondary sources of data about the abuse of older people with dementia in England conducted in 2013. There are many sources of data about poor care, abuse and neglect of people with dementia in care home and hospital settings but these are collected for different purposes and hard to link. The article discusses the ways in which dementia care practitioners may be able to make the most of existing data. (Publisher abstract)

The author outlines the importance of social workers in conducting dementia research. This includes the failure to carry out research into non-drug interventions and the need to address issues that are important to care home residents and their families. She also highlights the toolkit ENRICH, produced by the National Institute for Health Research School for Social Care Research. Advice is provided on how care managers can be persuaded to become involved in research.

The findings of a research study comparing the experiences and outcomes for home care reablement users with those receiving conventional home care are discussed. In the study, service users from home care reablement services in five English local authorities and users as of conventional home care from five other local authorities were interviewed and followed up by interview nine to 12 months later. The study found that reablement works for people who need support to regain their independence or to improve their quality of life and did not appear to cost more. The full report provides a number of points for commissioners to consider when delivering home care.

The findings from a report which describes the likely changes in the age structure of the black and minority groups in England and Wales are summarised and reviewed. The report 'The future ageing of the ethnic minority population of England and Wales', published by the Centre for Policy on Ageing and Runnymede, uses data on fertility, mortality and migration to make projections of the number and profile of older people from ethnic minorities. Although it is difficult to make accurate predictions, the report is recommended for planners to think about the types and amount of support that may be needed in the future.

A recent study from the Audit Commission into joint working and financing between health and social care. 'Means to an end: joint financing across health and social care' is reviewed. The study drew on a literature review and a survey sent to auditors of all councils and primary care trusts in England in 2008. It was found that joint working between health and social care is current under utilised, inspite of the benefits it can bring to service users and in terms of cost savings.

This article is the last in a series on older people’s mental health, and sets the key messages in the context of current and future service commissioning. It considers 3 recent changes in England that impact upon the work of commissioners. First, the National Dementia Strategy 2009 has been supported by a joint commissioning framework for dementia which emphases the importance of commissioning and provides examples of what newly designed services might look like. Second is covered the impact of personalisation and how this affects resource allocation, in particular the greater flexibility offered by individual budgets. Finally, the impact of the recession on the demand for services and also on staff turnover is considered. The article also suggests that commissioners should be taking a role in tackling the prevention of mental health problems in later life. The article concludes by considering the challenges for commissioners and planners in approaching the problems of mental ill-health in later life.
