Report 2 : Managing Caring and Employment
29 October 2007
Report No. 2 is about how services are used by carers to support them in managing caring alongside paid employment.
The report also explores the difficulties carers face when trying to combine work and care if services do not meet their needs or are not available, and considers the situation of carers who have had to give up work in order to care, or who are trying to return to paid work after or during a period of caring. The report draws on evidence from the new CES survey which included 812 carers aged 16-64 who were employees - 444 employed full-time and 368 employed part-time - as well as 56 carers who were self-employment. We also use data from 93 carers in full-time or part-time employment who were interviewed face-to-face, and from the 50 unemployed carers in the CES survey who were actively seeking work.
