A 3-year European research project investigating how being an unpaid carer affects people鈥檚 health and social outcomes reveals its findings and recommendations next week.

The Eurocare Project has brought together researchers and partners from the charitable and local government sectors in the UK, Germany, Spain and Norway to investigate inequalities in caring and its impact on people鈥檚 lives in these different country settings.听

The project, led by Professor Anne McMunn, Deputy Director of the ESRC International Centre for Lifecourse Studies, has already published a number of important research papers, investigating the mental and physical health effects of becoming a carer at different stages of the lifecourse, whether caring at a young age affects education and employment prospects and whether caring as an older person negatively affects social relationships.

Findings from these and other papers have been used to produce three policy reports听 covering different stages of the lifecourse: caring as a young person and in mid- and later-life. These reports will be presented and discussed at an on May 29^th from 1000-1200 UK time.

Professor McMunn said: 鈥淭he research from this project has important implications for all those interested in ensuring that people undertaking unpaid care have the same life chances and prospects as non carers. There are lots of important findings and key takeaways in these reports that can support initiatives and interventions to reduce the inequalities that we can see carers at all stages of the lifecourse facing.鈥澨�

The event will be chaired by Rohati Chapman, Executive Director for Programmes, Policy and Impact at .

Eurocare is funded by the Joint Programming Initiative听.
