Over 20% of people between 16-64 are not actively looking for work; this includes students & the (early) retired; there has also been considerable coverage of the long-term sick in recent months.

The group who are not working due to care responsibilities are also important.

I posted recently on grandparents & childcare, and its now clear that the crisis in #socialcare is keeping some #workers at home!

This is why better social & #publicservices make economic sense!
