It was lovely to meet so many brilliant quantitative care researchers and partners from charitable organisations at the 2nd QAR-Net Care workshop. @qar-netcare.bsky.social It was two productive and stimulating days. Hope to see you all in future events.😄

Now on arXiv! We design a new two-stage Individual Synthetic Control algorithm to cleanly identify causal estimates of the “caring penalty.” High-intensity unpaid carers face ~45% personal losses; households lose ~12%. 🏠📉 Link: arxiv.org/abs/2411.10314 Blog: shorturl.at/IVQ6M

Our new report published today in collaboration with Kinship estimates the economic contribution made by #kinshipcarers at £4.3 billion per year. Unlike foster carers, most kinship carers do not receive financial support from the government. read the report here: t.co/96BLu9Enck
