Though there is a lot of discussion on carers’ issue, young caring is still ignored and many facts remain unknown to us, which need to be revealed. Children or young people who provide continuous care for ill or disabled parents, siblings or any other family members are young carers. This raises several issues related to justice in the context of the young. Caring has its rewards and diffi culties. This paper reviews the literature on informal caregiving for ill family members in order to explore caring concept in children’s mind and how young caring varies with age, sex, types of illness and different family situations from the perspective of children and parents. Causes and consequences of young caring have been explored. Agenda for future research is suggested.
