Young Adult Carers

Question: Discuss the issues related to the young or adult carers welfare. Answer: The aim of this report is to keenly investigate on the issues related to the young or adult carers welfare. Several knowledge on the role and requirements of family carers is rising since the year 1970. This article states that several research works done in Ireland have been done related to family carers who are very younger and which is at very high risk of disturbance due to isolation for social reasons, poor yearly income, several tensions and worries, mental depression and very weak health conditions. Due to this poor family condition, the life of the young people in the family is getting poorer. Education is the only way in order to reach the peak of success. Whereas, the knowledge is the only jewel which do not decay. During this, The Young Adult Carers have been noticed to be at maximum risk for not gaining proper education, training as well as employment. Though the Irish research on the carers as young people is yet to take a proper shape. As National University of Ireland Galway researchers fail to provide profound details into the lives of the children as well as younger people who take care in the houses and unfold the secret. The prime interest of this research work was on people who are under the age of 18 (Carers and Constable 2012). According to Epelman (2013) people aged between 18 to 24 belonged to the group of Third level students. This stage is a very vital stage in the life of this people. Stepping to the level of third education is also marked as an important one. In spite of this, for those who are the young but act as the adults for being the carers, this stage is filled with excessive stresses and worries (Carers and Constable 2012). As they try their best to maintain a good balance between their caring job and education pressure. It has found out that this particular group of people fail to give the required attentions to their studies and continue with their likelihoods due to their extra pressure from their working field which is caring of any family (Gleeson and Turner 2012). They also fear to continue with their education and step towards achieving further educations. It has been found in two reports published by UK that this caring job in the family for the young people, prevent them gaining good opportunities in the field of employment. They even lack the proper training required to get a good job due to this extra pressure on them for cairng the family. Two very important research works into the Young Adult Carers have been recently organized in the UK and Australia. It found that the young people busy with the caring for the family could not participate in the program pursuing higher education (Carers and Constable 2012). A careful analysis of this article based on the 50 representatives from organizations that work directly with Young Adult Carers recently attended a seminar on young carers hosted by Care Alliance Ireland on September 2012 was performed. It can be said that the young people under the age of 18 or between the ages of 18 to 24 must not be given the entire responsibilities to take care of the family unless very necessary (Carey et al. 2012). If the elders of a particular family are vey sick or mentally unstable or suffering from prolong disorders like dementia, diabetes, cancer, or any other diseases then they must go there for better treatment processes where there is a chance of curing or recovery or may appoint a nurse. They must seek the help of organization who can help these younger people. They must participate in the seminar or the campaigns to vast their knowledge on the usefulness of having the higher education. During this research work the importance that were given to certa in issues like keeping the information gathered confidential, and the participants details would be always kept, as secret and it would not be shared with any other person or any other organizations (Carey et al. 2012). According to Epelman (2013) the information gathered were analyzed carefully. The outcomes of the research work would be information related to the presence of the services for helping these young carers to continue with their education (Hillman and Rowe 2014). The gaps that still exist in insisting the younger people to take part in the higher education program in Ireland. This research would also deals with those factors that affect the young ones to take family care (Gleeson and Turner 2012). The work of this research will also allow Care Alliance Ireland to pass information at a European level on Young Adult Carers in a good way with the fellow project partner organizations (Stamatopoulos 2015). This project also deals with goal of developing splendid strategies in order to target the Young Adult Carers and for acknowledging and increase of skills achieved in giving care that is also unpaid (Heery et al. 2015). The work of this research can be used to inform the importance of developing a proper and organized family (Sempik and Becker 2013). This research would also help the Government department and all other agencies to concentrate on the condition of the young people. This would also cause improvement in the areas where the younger people require development. This report also highlights the excessive need to be associated with those meeting that focuses on the need of the young people to concentrate on their education and take part on several important trainings in order to get good placements (Knott et al. 2013). Conclusion that can be drawn from this analysis is that the younger carers of the families of the Ireland as well as of other countries must not be prevented to gain third degree of education and attaining the different training programs, which will help them to get better placements. At least the family must insist the younger ones to get the basic education so that they can earn their live-li-hood. Reference list Carers, S.Y. and Constable, L., 2012.
