Carers quitting jobs from pressure More than 600 people a day leave their jobs because of the demands of being a carer, says research from a charity.
The pressures of looking after an elderly, ill or disabled relative have made almost half a million people quit their jobs in the UK in the past two years, says Carers UK.
The report calls for more flexibility in the workplace for carers.
The charity's head, Helen Walker, says that 15% of the working population is "now working and caring". BBC News
