This research is a theoretically-informed and policy-focused quantitative and qualitative study on young carers. The findings provide innovative contributions to theories of care provided by young people; evidence about the diverse socio-economic and demographic characteristics of young carers and care recipients, young people's pathways into care provision, and the impacts of caring on their education, employment, social participation and health; and the development of supportive policies and services.
