Considers how carers of working age incur pension penalties and the ways in which social security legislation has helped or hindered them in acquiring state pensions. Outlines how paid employment and earnings are related to caring responsibilities, discusses the impact of caring on state and private pensions, and considers how pension policy for the future may affect carers.
