Abstract

ABSTRACT This study sought to understand the experiences of intergenerational caregiving among urban poor women belonging to the Sandwich Generation that is individuals who care for both their children and aging parents. Guided by Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, we explored the experiences of eight Filipina mothers. Results revealed how societal/cultural expectations contributed to their willingness to accept the responsibility to be intergenerational caregivers, and how socioeconomic conditions influenced the existence of this care cycle. Findings point to how financial, material and policy support from government and workplaces may enable better provision of care for the parents and children of urban poor Filipino women as well as allow for self-care. Reframing traditional gender roles especially in child-rearing as well as discouraging culturally-shaped practices that engender the continuation of the care cycle through education may help in addressing the structurally enabled challenges experienced by women in the Sandwich Generation.
三明治一代女性的代际照顾经验:以菲律宾为例
摘要本研究旨在了解三明治一代城市贫困妇女的代际照顾经历,三明治一代是既照顾孩子又照顾年迈父母的个体。在解释现象学分析的指导下,我们探讨了八位菲律宾人母亲的经历。研究结果揭示了社会/文化期望如何促使他们愿意承担代际照顾者的责任,以及社会经济条件如何影响这种照顾周期的存在。调查结果表明,政府和工作场所的财政、物质和政策支持如何能够更好地为城市贫困菲律宾妇女的父母和子女提供照顾,并允许她们自我照顾。重新定义传统的性别角色,特别是在养育子女方面,以及劝阻通过教育延续护理周期的文化定型做法,可能有助于解决三明治一代妇女所经历的结构性挑战。
