Now on arXiv! We design a new two-stage Individual Synthetic Control algorithm to cleanly identify causal estimates of the “caring penalty.” High-intensity unpaid carers face ~45% personal losses; households lose ~12%. 🏠📉

Unlike foster carers, most kinship carers do not receive financial support from the government.
