十分之一的联合王国青年照料者因工作而错过考试,许多儿童失学,面临长期经济影响。 One in 10 UK young carers miss exams due to duties, with many missing school and facing long-term economic impacts.

在联合王国,每10名青年照料者中就有1人因责任而错过了一次学校考试,这是对350名8至17岁的儿童和青少年进行的照料者信托调查。 One in 10 young carers in the UK have missed a school exam due to their responsibilities, a Carers Trust survey of 350 children and teens aged 8 to 17 found. 民意测验显示,每天有一半人花在娱乐或社交活动上的时间不到一个小时,57%的人花在家庭作业上的时间不到一个小时,44%的人每天照料3至4小时。 The poll revealed half spend less than an hour daily on hobbies or socializing, 57% spend under an hour on homework, and 44% care for three to four hours each day. 慈善组织正在敦促每个学校、学院和大学指定一名指定的青年照料者——可能有一名现有工作人员——来确认和支持这些学生,警告说,青年照料者每年缺课一个月左右,今后可能损失11亿英镑的收入。 The charity is urging every school, college, and university to appoint a designated young carer lead—potentially an existing staff member—to identify and support these students, warning that young carers miss about a month of school annually, potentially costing £1.1 billion in lost future earnings.
