Young-onset dementia symptoms often first present in the workplace, resulting in work performance challenges and eventually loss of employment. This study aims to investigate the experiences, work values, and support needs of employees with young onset dementia and their relatives.

It explores how they experienced the actions and decisions taken with respect to work, and what the consequences meant to them.

This inter-disciplinary study was to explore how working-age people living with dementia seek to influence their lives, and what makes it easier or more difficult for them in their everyday life.

A systematic review of the literature concerning young people with dementia who are either in employment or wish to be employed.

Work as therapy: Participants wore staff uniforms to create a sense of identity and to be identifiable as staff for customers.
