Abstract
Unpaid eldercare provided by family comes with costs to caregivers, including the limitations eldercare responsibilities may place on labor force participation and work hours. This study examines the relationship between the frequency of unpaid eldercare and work behavior for previously full-time workers using multivariate regression and 2011-2018 American Time Use Survey data. High-frequency eldercare provision is associated with a decreased probability of being in the labor force for both men and women, and 5.5 fewer weekly hours worked for men ages 25-49, conditional on working full time 2-5 months prior. Policymakers should consider the relationship between work and unpaid caregiving for high-frequency caregivers in addressing growing care demand.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Aging & Social Policy offers a platform for insightful contributions from an international and interdisciplinary group of policy analysts and scholars. It provides an in-depth examination and analysis of critical phenomena that impact aging and the development and implementation of programs for the elderly from a global perspective, with a broad scope that encompasses not only the United States but also regions including Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Latin America, Asia, and the Asia-Pacific rim.
The journal regularly addresses a wide array of issues such as long-term services and supports, home- and community-based care, nursing-home care, assisted living, long-term care financing, financial security, employment and training, public and private pension coverage, housing, transportation, health care access, financing, and quality, family dynamics, and retirement. These topics are of significant importance to the field of aging and social policy, reflecting the journal's commitment to presenting a comprehensive view of the challenges and solutions related to aging populations around the world.
