Unpaid Carers in Focus: Eurofound’s Latest Report

Eurofound has launched a new report that investigates the situation of unpaid carers, focusing on their characteristics and the type of care and support they provide. It also examines their time-use patterns, well-being, and the challenges they face. The report highlights the often at-risk health and well-being of unpaid carers, emphasising that there are insufficient measures in place to monitor and protect their physical and mental health. The authors call for mental health support to be tailored to the specific challenges of caregiving, including loneliness. The report also analyses how unpaid caregivers are defined across the EU and explores national-level policies aimed at supporting them.
