    Brief

    This research opportunity requires delivery of a comprehensive, data-driven report examining the financial situation of older adults in England. The report should assess current wealth, income levels, and financial resilience of this population, while also analyzing trends in social care spending across relevant comparison countries. The research will support the Casey Commission's work by providing evidence on how England's approach to social care funding and older adults' financial security compares internationally. Suppliers should have expertise in social care economics, gerontology research, and comparative international analysis. The deliverable should include detailed data analysis, trend identification, and actionable insights for policy consideration.
