DESCRIPTION

Informal carers care for family members or friends due to illness, disability or old age. Combining informal care with paid employment can constitute a challenge for informal carers.

This policy brief summarises the findings from the project 'Informal Care and Employment in Upper Austria' and discusses possible future support measures for informal carers in employment.

This policy brief is available in German and English.
