The association between employment and family histories and caregiving in later life. European findings based on SHARE and Elsa
Caregiving can be time-consuming, and it can be challenging for caregivers to combine caregiving tasks with other obligations. While we know a lot about the problems of combining informal care with employment and family obligations, past employment and family histories are seldom discussed. This study tries to fill this gap by examining the association between employment and family histories and caregiving in later life. We used pooled data from …
Mental Health Trajectories of Men and Women Who Start Providing Personal Care
Objectives We examine the mental health trajectories of people who start providing personal care and compare their trajectories with matched controls who remain non-carers. We also investigate whether trajectories vary by gender, financial resources, and supportive long-term care policies. Methods Using 9 waves of the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe, collected in 28 European countries from 2004 to 2022, we analyze longitudinal …
The Impact of Sandwich Care on Employment and Well-Being in Germany
The provision of informal care has received a lot of attention during the past few decades. In the case of recurring parental care needs, adults may find themselves confronted with the task of juggling informal care for their parents and care for their children at the same time. These carers are typically called sandwich carers. Using data from the 2001–2019 waves of the German Socio-Economic Panel, we investigated the association between childca…
Self-rated health of university students in Germany–The importance of material, psychosocial, and behavioral factors and the parental socio-economic status
Introduction: Health inequalities start early in life. The time of young adulthood, between late teens and early twenties, is especially interesting in this regard. This time of emerging adulthood, the transition from being a child to becoming an adult, is characterized by the detachment from parents and establishing of an own independent life. From a health inequality perspective, the question about the importance of the socio-economic backgroun…
Does young adulthood caring influence educational attainment and employment in the UK and Germany
Informal care plays an important role in the provision of care. However, previous research has mainly focused on middle- or older-aged informal carers and less is known about informal care among young adults, its consequences on educational achievement and employment transitions and whether this varies across country contexts. Using data from the 2009-2018 waves of the UK Household Longitudinal Study (N= 25,856) and the German Socio-Economic Pane…
Adverse Employment Histories, Later Health Functioning and National Labor Market Policies
Our study calls for increased intervention efforts to improve working conditions at early career stages. Despite the importance in shaping employment histories, the role of national policies in modifying the impact of employment on health is less clear
Dynamics of Volunteering and Life Satisfaction in Midlife and Old Age
A growing literature shows that doing voluntary work not only helps the wider community but can also improve one’s own well-being. To date, however, few studies have examined the relationship between volunteering and well-being in non-US and especially in comparative data. We study this relationship using two waves of data of 18,559 individuals aged 50 and above from 12 European countries. We analyze life satisfaction impacts of change and stabil…
Generationenbeziehungen und materielle und soziale Deprivation
Bislang wissen wir nur wenig darüber, welchen Einfluss Deprivation auf das Geben und Nehmen von Unterstützungsleistungen innerhalb von Familien hat. Anhand der fünften Welle des Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe untersuchen wir den Zusammenhang zwischen Generationenbeziehungen und materieller und sozialer Deprivation. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass von Deprivation betroffene Eltern ihre Kinder seltener unterstützen und häufiger selbs…
Support networks of childless older people
Western societies are ageing rapidly. Today people do not only live longer, they also have fewer children. These developments exert considerable pressure on welfare states. Children have usually been the mainstay of old age support, especially when there is no partner. We thus face new challenges: On which support networks can a growing number of childless older people rely? (How) can the lack of children be compensated in the informal social net…
Resources of Grandparents
Educational attainment depends on parents' material and cultural resources. In many families, the grandparents also provide resources that directly or indirectly support their children's educational careers. That is why we applied a multigenerational view and tested if and under which conditions the resources of grandparents are relevant for the educational outcomes of their grandchildren. Using data from the fifth wave of the Survey of Health, A…

Intergenerational Transfers to Adult Children in Europe
Understanding the role of social policies in intergenerational transfers from old to young people is especially important in times of population aging. This paper focuses on the influences of social expenditures and social services on financial support and on practical help from older parents to their adult children based on the first two waves from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE, N = 60,250 dyads from 13 European co…

Finanzielle Transfers zwischen Generationen in Europa
Finanzielle Transfers sind eine wichtige Form des Austausches zwischen Generationen. Sie sind nicht nur Hilfeleistung in Notsituationen, sondern können auch ein Zeichen von Aufmerksamkeit in Form eines Geschenkes sein und stärken auf diese Weise die Beziehung zwischen Eltern und Kindern. Auf der Grundlage des Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) wird in elf europäischen Ländern der Austausch von Geld zwischen Eltern und Kinde…
Financial support and practical help between older parents and their middle-aged children in Europe
Financial support and practical help between older parents and their middle-aged children vary greatly among the regions of Europe. Northern and Western Europe is characterised by a high likelihood of practical help to and financial transfers from parents, while in Southern and Eastern Europe these kinds of support are much less likely. Financial transfers to parents show an almost opposite distribution, with more children supporting a parent in …
