title: [Family carers, invisible players].
abstract: The term "carer" is becoming increasingly familiar in the sectors of assistance and nursing care. Referring to the people who look after a sick, disabled or dependent family member, it started to be used by the public authorities in the 2000s and today is particularly pertinent in the light of the bill relating to the adaptation of society to ageing. However, it is ultimately a phenomenon which has always existed in all societies: solidarity between family members.
