Abstract

The paper is focused on informal caregivers of people with disabilities, particularly in mentally handicapped persons. Informal caregiver refers to those relatives, friends or any person who make this task without any formal economic remuneration. Only in few cases, caregivers are able to receive some economic aid by the administration.

We develop a questionnaire to analyze personal, familiar, economic and social situation of primary caregivers. The empirical results are based on a sample of 128 caregivers of a spanish association created for people with disabilities.
