Unmet Needs of Informal Caregivers
Original language description
Providing informal care to senior family members has positive effects on dependent seniors who can remain in their natural physical and social environment. However, informal care can also place increased stress on caregivers due to differences in the availability and affordability of social services and changes in the needs of dependent seniors over the life course. Informal caregivers become vulnerable due to limitations in their social lives, reduced quality of life, and limited access to resources. The paper seeks care pathways that would reduce these inequalities, enhance the quality of life of caregivers by meeting their needs, and ensure dignity in older age by improving the involvement of both seniors and caregivers. Based on empirical evidence in the form of data from a representative sample of informal caregivers in the Czechia, the paper proposes specific interventions for caregivers to eliminate, minimize, or at least offset the negative impacts of caregiving.
