Age Space Employer and Employee Support Programme

Making the workplace age-friendly

By 2025 there will be more  people in the workplace with elderly dependents than people with childcare responsibilities. This should not be a surprise with our ageing population and ageing workforce. The impact of caring on employees and on business is not to be under-estimated.

  • Over 30% of unpaid carers also work full-time
  • 600 people leave employment every week to care for a parent or relative
  • An estimated £3.8 billion cost to the economy every year through lost hours/days by working carers taking time off

Keeping Mum – employee research by Age Space:
