Social care in the United Kingdom
In a year, more than 4.3 million people in the UK become unpaid carers. 4 million people stop their unpaid caring roles every year. The unpaid care work in the UK was recently valued at £59.5 billion a year. The  2021 United Kingdom census found an increase in the number of people who said they were caring for more than 20 hours a week compared to 2011, but fewer people caring for less than that.
