Bridging the care expectation gap
<p>In our latest episode, we speak to Taha Bokhari - lead analyst at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation - to discuss their report exploring <a href="https://www.jrf.org.uk/care/the-care-expectation-gap" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 1.125rem;">the care expectation gap</a>. </p><p>In our last conversation of 2025, we discuss why most people don't plan for their future, and why the majority of the British public significantly underestimate their future care needs or the fact they will likely have to provide care at some point in their lives. We cover why this gap in expectations versus reality is an issue, what we can all do to remedy it, and why taking time to project ourselves into the future could be beneficial to us all as a society. </p><p>You can follow the Joseph Rowntree Foundation on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/joseph-rowntree-foundation/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> and on <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/jrf-uk.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bluesky</a>.
