This chapter is part of an OECD report about long-term care and offers an overview of the characteristics of carers, the impact of caring for frail seniors on labour market and the health outcomes of carers.
In 2012 Skills for Care appointed an independent research and evaluation
consultancy to gather and analyse evidence from employers in the adult social care sector about the measures they take that can influence retention.
This study has explored how different employers have created a supportive environment at work for carers and shows evidence that providing a flexible approach can bring impressive business gains.
