Tung Wah College Survey: More Than 80 Per Cent of Working Carers Say Caring Brings Positive Gains

A Tung Wah College survey interviewed 566 working carers; nearly 60 per cent said their caring burden was heavy, while 82 per cent believed their caring experience brought positive gains. Flexible working hours were the most commonly used measure, cited by 33 per cent of respondents, but more than half had never used such family-friendly measures. The team recommends that companies promote flexible working, working from home and leave arrangements.
