Abstract
The Department for Work and Pensions commissioned the Social Policy Research Unit to conduct research exploring the aspirations and decisions around work and retirement of people looking after disabled or sick relatives, friends or older people. The study involved three elements: a literature review, in-depth interviews with 80 carers, and focus groups with professionals from Jobcentre Plus, social services departments and carers organisations who worked with carers.
