Findings
Research by the London School of Economics and Political Science has found high personal and economic costs for young adult unpaid carers.
The School’s Webinar Series showcases our commissioned research – both findings from completed studies and new studies – as well as providing an opportunity to hear from the range of individuals within the School.
Webinars take place fortnightly at lunchtimes. Recordings and slides from previous Webinars are also available.
