Unpaid caregiving and job satisfaction
Taking up unpaid caregiving, that is, providing care for sick or disabled people in one’s social network, can affect paid employment. Previous research has mostly found negative effects, focusing more on ‘objective’ outcomes, such as labour supply or wages. We argue that to have a fuller picture of the employment consequences of unpaid caregiving, including potential positive effects, as suggested by enrichment theory, it is important to examine …
Care for thy neighbour
Given the increase in the proportion of older people as well as the decrease in family size, it can be expected that more and more informal care will fall onto the shoulders of non-kin, such as neighbours. Currently, neighbours rarely provide informal care, and knowledge on their characteristics and motivations is limited. This study advances our knowledge of neighbour caregivers by examining the impact of anticipated reciprocity and previous (ne…
Wage Premium or Wage Penalty? Gendered Long-term Wage Development of Family Caregivers
This study theoretically and empirically assesses the gendered relationship between family caregiving (excluding regular childcare) and wage development in the Netherlands applying conflict theory, which predicts a wage penalty due to difficulties in combining paid work and care, and enrichment theory, which expects a wage premium because of acquired skills and recognition. Growth curve modelling was used to analyse hourly wages from 19 years of …
Dynamics of later-life caregiving and health. Insights from biomarker data and cognitive tests
As populations age and informal caregiving becomes more widespread, the health consequences of providing care are becoming a key concern for societies. Sociological theories of stress appraisal and role strain posit detrimental consequences to the health and wellbeing of caregivers. Conversely, role enhancement theory holds that caregiving can have positive health consequences. Using data from the English Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA) collec…
Informal care trajectories over the lifecourse in the Netherlands
This study sets out to identify and describe informal care trajectories over the lifecourse in the Netherlands, and evaluate theoretical ideas on informal care trajectories. We conduct latent profile analysis on a sample of 949 respondents who retrospectively reported on all informal care episodes they had ever experienced, based on the number of episodes, age at first caring episode, duration and overlap. We identified four informal care traject…
Strategies of informal caregivers to adapt paid work
Informal caregiving, meaning taking health-related care of an older and/or disabled person in the personal network, often has consequences for paid work. Classically, scholars focus on two strategies of informal caregivers to adapt employment: stopping to work and reducing working hours. Two other plausible, but neglected, strategies may similarly have career consequences, namely changing jobs and becoming self-employed. First, we empirically ass…
An agnostic approach to gender patterns in parliamentary speech
By examining all speech in the 18th legislative period (2013–17) of the German Bundestag, including 6,598,831 words in 51,337 text segments, we compare women’s and men’s parliamentary speech. Our approach builds on the agnostic view on representation and follows a bottom-up approach, which avoids pre-set definitions of what is women’s or men’s language use. By analysing the frequencies of the most used words and keywords from semantic networks, w…
Helping helpers? The role of monetary transfers in combining unpaid care and paid work
Applying fixed-effects models using Waves 2 to 13 (2007–19) of the German Labour Market and Social Security panel study, we examine how unpaid caring changes labour supply and if monthly monetary transfers from the care recipient to the carer motivate a reduction in labour supply. We find that for both women and men, starting high-intensity caring increased the likelihood of becoming non-employed. Women were already likely to reduce working hours…
Verandering in de intensiteit van mantelzorg tijdens de eerste Covid-19 lockdown in 2020 in Nederland
Changes in informal care provision during the first COVID-19 lockdown in 2020 in the Netherlands This study investigates to what extent the intensity of informal care provision has changed during the first lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020 in the Netherlands, whether these changes differed by the living situation of the care recipient, and whether these changes were associated with changes in indicators for ‘being able t…
Are the gender gaps in informal caregiving intensity and burden closing due to the Covid‐19 pandemic? Evidence from the Netherlands
This research note presents the findings of changes in the gender gap in informal care provision and caregiver burden during the Spring 2020 COVID-19 lockdown in the Netherlands. Government measures in response to the pandemic strongly restricted informal caregivers in providing help and care to persons with health-related needs. At the same time, formal care was scaled back and informal caregivers' urge to help their loved ones was likely higher…
