Caregiving significantly affects the workplace, with one in seven UK employees balancing work and caregiving responsibilities. Research shows caregivers rank childcare benefits as highly as annual leave and above pension when evaluating new roles.

​

The scale of unpaid caregiving in the UK is substantial, with an estimated 5.7 million unpaid carers, potentially reaching 10.6 million according to Carers UK. Women represent 59% of unpaid carers and tend to dedicate more hours to caregiving than men. Between 2010 and 2020, an average of 4.3 million people took on unpaid caregiving responsibilities.

Speaking topics cover support systems for caregivers, balancing caregiving with work and personal life, emotional and psychological aspects of caregiving, and the role of technology in supporting caregiving efforts.
