Research by Carers Scotland reveals that more than 300,000 people in Scotland have to quit their job to care for a loved one who is older, disabled or seriously ill. The research shows the average number of carers in the workplace is 15% across the UK, meaning almost 400,000 people in Scotland are juggling their paid job with caring. That is one in seven of all workers in Scotland.
