P 7350 イギリス:介護する児童は予想以上に多かった

gardian, 2010.11.16

Almost 700,000 children in the UK may be acting as carers for parents or other relatives, according to research published tomorrow. The figure is four times more than previously thought. The BBC surveyed more than 4,000 secondary school pupils using a specially-designed psychometric test. They found an "invisible army" – totalling 8% of those tested – were taking on caring roles, which included helping someone dress, bathe or shower. The number of young carers had been estimated at only 175,000, or 2%, based on the 2001 census, which had to be filled in by parents.

Academics who developed the 18-item questionnaire said the stigma of admitting some disabilities and that their children were helping look after them, meant that the census was always likely to under-represent the true figures.
