AnnotationThe population of adult carers in Great Britain declined during the 1990s, while the proportion of those heavily involved in informal care increased. Findings presented in this article are based on secondary analysis of the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) covering the years 1990-1998. As well as charting trends in the prevalence of informal care, changes in the locus of care, the number of care recipients, their relationships to their carer and the amount of time devoted to caring activities are described and interpreted.
