The crisis in care has many dimensions; those between 30-49 years old, the 'sandwich carers' are often caught between caring for children *and* elderly parents.
as Beth Neale (Carers Trust) says:
'[its] driving many into poverty. There is also a stark gender imbalance to sandwich care, with 61% of it falling on the shoulders of women... [requiring] an urgent response from government & a clear plan to aid carers facing burnout and deteriorating health'!
They need more support!
