Answer

The Ulster University Economic Policy Centre (UUEPC) are currently undertaking an independent review of available cost and financial benefit modelling for a paid carer’s leave entitlement.

It is hoped this review will be completed in late Spring 2025. Consideration will be given to the publication of the final report in due course thereafter.
