This dataset shows what percentage (%) of carers report that their household has difficulty to make ends meet with the household’s total monthly income. "Carers" are all those who are involved in informal long-term care or childcare.
The respondents were asked: ‘A household may have different sources of income and more than one household member may contribute to it. Thinking of your household’s total monthly income: is your household able to make ends meet…?’
A household was classed as having difficulties to make ends meet if the respondent selected either of the options ‘with great difficulty’ or ‘with difficulty’.
This indicator is disaggregated by the employment status of the respondent. It groups respondents as: Employed, Self-employed, Unemployed or Inactive.
