Online: SHARE - "The effect of care on women's mental health"
"People who take care of their elderly parents, neighbours or friends are quite common in the EU. Even more, they play an important role in our societies which often are not able to provide sufficient institutionalised care for their oldest members. With their unpaid support, these informal caregivers relieve formalised caregiving systems. And, considering our ageing populations, they will be needed even more in the future."
