Hidden in the margins: the lives and trajectories of young carers

该项目旨在研究青年非正规照顾者在社会、教育、经济和健康方面的经历。作为澳大利亚社会中最不被认可的群体之一，年轻的照顾者可能会在许多领域体验到他们的关爱角色的持久影响。鉴于NDIS的推出，这一项目尤为重要。它希望通过开发和应用创新的分析模型来提高对年轻照顾者的了解，这些模型将导致量化澳大利亚年轻照顾者的决定因素和后果。这将确定如何最好地支持年轻照顾者，并在这样做的过程中，将为实施将为年轻照顾者带来重大好处的方案和政策提供信息。

This project aims to examine the social, educational, economic and health-related experiences of young informal carers. One of the most unrecognised groups in Australian society, young carers are likely to experience enduring effects of their caring role across many domains. This project is particularly critical in light of the NDIS roll-out. It expects to improve understanding of young carers by developing and applying innovative analytic models that will lead to quantification of the determinants and consequences of being a young carer in Australia. This will identify ways to best support young carers, and in doing so, will inform the implementation of programs and policies that will deliver significant benefits to young carers.
