Time format:
Years
Unit:
Percentage (comparable)
Description:

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:

  • Every day
  • 4 to 6 days a week
  • 1 to 3 days a week
  • Less often
  • Never

This indicator is disaggregated by household type. For the purposes of this indicator, five household types are distinguished:

  • Single without children
  • Lone parents or single cohabiting with children
  • In a couple without children
  • In a couple cohabitating with children
  • Other
