Working-Age Carers, Their Use of Social Security Benefits, Circumstances, and Employment Outside the Home 

Due to the growing number of elderly people, the need for care is increasing. One form of providing care is through caregivers. There are approximately 50,000 officially recognised carers, less than half of whom are of working age. The register study examines the use of social security benefits, employment, and income of working-age informal carers at different stages of care, and related factors.
