Where are young carers in the findings of this research?
Joseph Mavindu Mutunga (2009-02-14 15:50) University of Nairobi
The researchers seem to have left out something crucial in their methodology, which led to young cares of persons living with Aids being invisibilised, save for one boy.
It is unlikely that young carers do not play a major role in caring for PLWHA. Sometimes they do more than women! Given that a large section of care recepients are people whose spouses are dead or dying because of Aids, young carers must be doing more than this paper has recognised.
It is a great research paper noetheless.
Thank you.
