Description

** This is not a call for competition**

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) had a requirement for to learn about how attitudes towards balancing work and (non-childcare) caring responsibilities have changed over the last two decades. Particularly vital to this work will be improving our understanding of the effect of caring responsibilities on individuals and their ability to work, including carers currently not in work. This information will help establish the extent of the difficulties facing the carer population.

Inserting questions on attitudes towards balancing work and (non-childcare) responsibilities in the British Social Attitudes survey; a robust series that has been measuring public attitudes since
1983. We propose to modify a question originally asked in 1999 to update our assessment of employees that have access to a carer's leave (paid or unpaid-occupational scheme) in 2019.
This is vital to capture the situation prior to the introduction of any new entitlements, so we can measure the difference made in future years.

This requirement was awarded via direct award on the BEIS Research and Evaluation framework Lot 1
