TI - Young, Caring and Struggling to Make Ends Meet: The Worsening Economic Circumstances of Scotland's Young Carers
AB - This research focuses on exploring, in the context of the 2020/21 Covid-19 pandemic, the economic circumstances of young carers in Scotland. A young carer is a child under the age of 18 years who provides regular care and support to a family member with a long-term physical or mental health condition or addiction. The Scottish Government estimates that 7% of young people in Scotland are young carers (Scottish Government, 2017).
