This dataset shows how often in a typical week employed carers experience difficulties in combining paid work with their care responsibilities (including both long-term care and childcare). "Carers" are all those who are involved in informal long-term care or childcare. The numbers indicate what percentage (%) of employed carers have selected each frequency category.
Respondents selected one frequency category from the following list:
This indicator is disaggregated by the education level of the respondent. Responses were grouped into three levels of education according to the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED): “Low” (ISCED 1-2), “Medium” (ISCED 3-4) and “High” (ISCED 5-8). ISCED levels are: Primary education or less, Lower secondary education or equivalent level, Secondary education (e.g. high school), Post-secondary education non-tertiary (e.g. technical education lasting minimum 6 months), Short-cycle tertiary (e.g. advanced vocational education lasting minimum 2 years), University: Bachelor’s or equivalent level, University: Master’s or equivalent level or University: Doctoral (PhD) or equivalent level.
