The workforce exodus is calculated to have cost businesses about £3.2bn.
The Alzheimer’s Society (who commissioned the report) warned that this figure could double by 2040 if the social care system is not overhauled.
The research also shows that a further 147,000 people are struggling to balance their careers with their caring responsibilities as many cut back on their working hours.
