abstract: 'Background Many countries worldwide have experienced reductions in
provision of formal long-term care services amidst rising need for care.
Provision of unpaid care, meanwhile, has grown. This includes care
provided by young people. Care responsibilities can affect a young
people''s health, education and employment. We aimed to investigate the
impacts on the employment and health of young people aged 16 to 25 of
providing care, and the associated individual and public expenditure
costs. Methods We examined employment, earnings and health impacts for
individuals, and a range of economic impacts for society, focusing on
young people aged 16 to 25 providing unpaid care in England. We applied
regression analysis to data from three waves of the UK Household
Longitudinal Study (2013/2015, 2014/2016, and 2015/2017) to compare
employment and health outcomes among carers and non-carers, and two-part
Generalised Linear Models to estimate costs. To address potential
selection bias, we then used propensity score matching methods to
explore outcomes for a matched sub-sample of young adult carers who
started providing care at baseline (2014/16). Results Young people aged
16 to 25 who provided care at baseline (2014/16) were less likely to be
in employment, had lower earnings from paid employment, and had poorer
mental and physical health at follow-up (2015/17) compared to young
people of the same age who were not providing care at baseline.. There
were substantial costs to the state of young adults providing care from
lower tax revenue, welfare benefit payments, and health service use. In
aggregate, these costs amounted to 1048 pound million annually in 2017.
Conclusions High individual impacts and costs to the state of providing
unpaid care, and the potential of such impacts to compound existing
inequalities, have many implications for policy and practice in the
health, social care, employment and welfare benefits sectors. In
particular, the findings reinforce the case for reducing the need for
young people to provide unpaid care, for example through better
provision of formal care services, and to provide ongoing support for
those young people whodoprovide care. As impacts are seen in a number of
domains, support needs to be multidimensional.'
