Young caregivers twice as likely to be persistently out of work or education, UK research shows

New data reveals that young people with caregiving responsibilities are more than twice as likely as their peers to be persistently not in employment, education, or training (NEET) for a period of two years or more. The research, published by City St George's, Carers Trust and University College London, comes just days after the release of the Milburn report into youth unemployment, which identified young caregivers as one of the most "at risk" yet "least visible" groups vulnerable to NEET status.
