Burdens of caring increase for the elderly

A research team, led by Professor Gillian Parker, compared data from the 1985 General Household Survey (GHS) and from the 2009/10 Survey of Carers in Households (SCH) to establish how far the experience of adults who provide unpiad care to disabled or older people in England has changed since the first representative national data on carers became available in 1985. Findings from the study have been published in the Spring 2018 edition of Society Now.
