Young Carers

Nearly two milllion young people have been out of work for over a year, according to government reports released in November 2011. But, how badly does this affect young, unemployed people who have to look after their unemployed parents, too?

Thousands of young people aged 14-20 years in Camden face the burden of having to look for a job and look after their parents who are incapable of finding a job due to various reasons i.e. age discrimination, disability and depression.
