| Annotation | Given the rising demand for care, it is critical that the contribution of carers is recognised and that society understands how best it can support carers. These reports result from the Carers, Employment and Services (CES) study conducted in 2007-7 at the University of Leeds, commissioned by Carers UK, lead partner in the Action for Carers and Employment partnership. The study was part-funded under the European Social Fund (ESF) EQUAL Community Initiative Programme. The findings reported are based on 1909 responses to a national survey targeting carers of working age, and 134 face-to-face interviews with carers aged 25-64 living in ten localities in England, Wales and Scotland: Hertfordshire, Leeds, Sandwell, Sheffield, Southwark, West Sussex, Anglesey, Swansea, East Ayrshire, Falkirk and Highlands. The CES study was commissioned to strengthen the evidence base available to inform future public policy and service development on issues relating to carers and employment. The reports highlight the demographic and labour market contexts which have brought issues around carers and employment to the attention of social, economic and political agenda. (RH). |
