Meanwhile, Governments keep complaining there are too many people out of work while doing very little to improve the availability of jobs

Ageism especially - if you want people to keep working for longer, you need to incentivise employers to take on older people because at the moment they are not!

I haven't sold through any of these platforms for a while but Etsy seems a nice platform. Maybe they would waive the fees if it's for charity?

Behind these numbers are millions of people caring for someone with little or no support. We’re calling for a new social contract for carers that includes:

• Improved financial support
• Access to high quality social care and NHS services
• Stronger employment protections

Sounds like a fantastic focus for your doctoral study Jenny, I'm looking forward to learning more as you progress your research. Good luck!
