Health Behaviour Changes Around Transitions Into and Out of Unpaid Caregiving in the UK
Background While unpaid caregiving has become an increasing public health concern, less is known about its association on modifiable health behaviours across the lifecourse. This study examined how transitions into and out of unpaid caregiving influence physical activity, diet, smoking, and alcohol consumption among UK adults aged 16 years and older. Methods We used longitudinal data from up to 35,779 participants from the UK Household Longitudin…
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 …

Young carers and inequalities in educational attainment and school engagement
Young carers (individuals under 18 providing care to family members) experience significant disadvantages. While prior research suggests caring negatively impacts education, evidence is limited by methodological constraints and lacks national-level representation. This study aimed to assess associations between young caring and official educational attainment and school engagement at primary and secondary school levels in England, and to identify…
Does the ‘right to request’ flexible work policy influence men’s and women’s uptake of flexible working and well-being
BACKGROUND: The 'right to request' flexible working policy has been gradually extended and, by 2014, extended to cover all workers with at least 26 weeks of continuous employment. The impact of these policy changes is unclear. This research aims to assess the effects of the 2014 policy reform on the uptake of flexible working and its impact on health and well-being, focusing on gender differences. METHODS: Data were drawn from waves 2, 4, 6, 8 an…
Setting the scene
With increasing demand for informal carers, young adults are taking up care of dependent adults. However, early adulthood is the period in which most people invest in human capital and transition to employment. Being neither in employment nor in training (NEET) during this period may have long-term effects, increasing the risk of poor mental health. This study explores data from the third wave of the European Health Survey to better understand th…
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 …
Differences by ethnicity in the association between unpaid caring and health trajectories over 10 years in the UK Household Longitudinal Study
BACKGROUND: Unpaid carers deliver critical social care. We aimed to examine differences by ethnicity in (1) profiles of unpaid caring and (2) associations between caring and physical and mental health trajectories. METHODS: We used 10 waves of data from 47 015 participants from the UK Household Longitudinal Study (2009-2020). Our outcomes were 12-item Short Form Health Survey physical and mental component scores. We performed bivariate comparison…
Gender inequalities in care across long-term care public spending systems in Europe
This article investigates gender inequalities in care provision across European long-term care (LTC) public spending systems using data from the European Health Interview Survey (2013–19). Women are more likely than men to provide care (OR = 1.41) and intensive care (OR = 1.50), particularly in countries with lower LTC public spending. Higher LTC expenditure appears to reduce intensive care but does not eliminate gender disparities, suggesting pe…
Emerging costs in a “hidden” workforce
During COVID‐19 many informal caregivers experienced increased caregiving load while access to formal and informal support systems and coping resources decreased. Little is known about the psychosocial costs of these challenges for an essential yet vulnerable and “hidden” frontline workforce. This study explores and compares changes in psychosocial well‐being (psychological well‐being, psychological ill‐being, and loneliness) before and across up…
Work hours, weekend working, nonstandard work schedules and sleep quantity and quality
These results should prompt employers and policymakers to recognise the need for rest and recovery, consider how the timing and scheduling of work might be improved to better support workers' health and productivity, and consider appropriate compensation for anyone required to work atypical temporal work patterns
Cross-sectional associations between patterns of cultural engagement and indicators of biological dysregulation
Cultural engagement is cross-sectionally associated with biomarkers, although the characteristics of people who engage with culture are an important consideration when interpreting these findings
Understanding young caring in the UK pre- and post-Covid-19
Prevalence of young carers increased from 8% pre-pandemic to 11% post-pandemic. • Intensity (care for more than 10 h per week) increased after Covid. • More females engaged with higher intensity care than males. • Young carers are more prevalent in single-parent and socioeconomically disadvantage homes. • Young carers are more likely to be living in more deprived areas. Despite increasing awareness of young carers in recent years, there remains a…
Nonstandard work schedules in the UK
This article investigates the associations between nonstandard work schedules, parents’ mental health, and couple relationship happiness across childhood using the Millennium Cohort Study, a longitudinal, population-based data set of births in the UK. Using individual fixed effects models, we investigated the relationship between maternal and paternal nonstandard work schedules, examining both separate and joint work schedules and mental health a…
Inequalities in associations between young adult caregiving and social relationships
INTRODUCTION: Young adult caregivers (aged 16-29 years) are an important but underrecognized group of informal caregivers. There is some evidence suggesting that young adult caregivers have fewer social relationships. However, this research has been largely cross-sectional in design or restricted to caregivers, providing no comparison with noncaregivers. Further, there is little evidence on whether and to what extent there are inequalities in ass…
Making it work
Objective We examined associations between types of nonstandard work schedules among fathers, couple‐level work schedules, and fathers' parenting activities in infancy and middle childhood in the United Kingdom. Background An emerging body of literature has interrogated the implications of fathers' nonstandard schedules for their parenting. The evidence is mixed owing to the range of child ages investigated and country context. It remains unclear…
A Bourdieusian Latent Class Analysis of Cultural, Arts, Heritage and Sports Activities in the UK Representative Understanding Society Dataset
To Bourdieu, interaction with culture has symbolic power and drives the manifestation of social stratification. Many have adapted his theory and methodology, developing new models of cultural engagement. Here, to further integrate these theoretical and methodological approaches, Bourdieu's tools were used to operationalise and interpret a Latent Class Analysis of cultural engagement in the Understanding Society dataset. Six classes of increasing …
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…
Young Adult Carers in the UK—New Evidence from the UK Household Longitudinal Study
Despite growing interest in young adult carers, little is known about trends in prevalence of caregiving among young adults aged 16-29. Furthermore, few studies have so far investigated demographic, health, and socioeconomic inequalities in the duration of care among young carers as well as demographic differences in caregiving characteristics. Using data from 11 waves of the nationally representative UK Household Longitudinal Study (2009-2021), …
Gender differences in unpaid care work and psychological distress in the UK Covid-19 lockdown
Objective To describe how men and women divided childcare and housework demands during the height of the first Covid-19 lockdown in the UK, and whether these divisions were associated with worsening mental health during the pandemic. Background School closures and homeworking during the Covid-19 crisis have resulted in an immediate increase in unpaid care work, which draws new attention to gender inequality in divisions of unpaid care work. Metho…
Birth Order and First Sexual Experience
Birth order may foster specific roles for individuals within the family and set in train a dynamic that influences the development of specific behaviors. In this paper, we explored the relationship between birth order, sex, timing of sexual initiation, and its consequences for risky sexual behavior and sexual health. We conducted a path analysis to simultaneously estimate direct and indirect effects using data from the National Survey of Sexual A…
The Long Shadow of Youth
The timing and nature of exits from FT education played a pivotal role in setting people onto life-course trajectories that influence well-being in later life for this older generation of women
Relationship satisfaction and concordance in attitudes to maternal employment in British couples with young children
Changes in paid labor in families have occurred within the wider context of societal changes in gendered attitudes to work. However, changes in behavior and attitudes are not necessarily correlated with each other, and their associations with family relationships are complex. This study uses data from over 12,000 two-parent families in the U.K.'s Millennium Cohort Study, a nationally representative cohort of children born during 2000-2002. The st…
Gender Divisions of Paid and Unpaid Work in Contemporary UK Couples
This article uses data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study to describe how contemporary British couples divide a range of work types. Our findings support the hypothesis, suggested by previous authors, that a shared egalitarian ideology is required for gender equality in divisions of work. In response to bargaining theories, the article also hypothesises that differentials in educational attainment within couples are more strongly associated…
Long work hours, weekend working and depressive symptoms in men and women
BACKGROUND: Globalised and 24/7 business operations have fuelled demands for people to work long hours and weekends. Research on the mental health effects of these intensive temporal work patterns is sparse, contradictory or has not considered gender differences. Our objective was to examine the relationship between these work patterns and depressive symptoms in a large nationally representative sample of working men and women in the UK. METHOD: …

Participation in socially-productive activities, reciprocity and wellbeing in later life
This paper examines whether participation in social activities is associated with higher levels of wellbeing among post-retirement age people in England, and, if so, whether these relationships are explained by the reciprocal nature of these activities. Cross-sectional analysis of relationships between social activities (including paid work, caring and volunteering) and wellbeing (quality of life, life satisfaction and depression) was conducted a…
Life course social roles and women’s health in mid-life
Study objective: To investigate whether relations between social roles and health are explained by health selection into employment and parenthood by examining the influence of early health on relations between long term social role histories and health in mid-life. Design: Prospective, population based, birth cohort study. Participants and setting: Women from a national British cohort born in 1946, including 1171 women with a valid measure of se…

Fathers' Involvement
This study investigated longitudinal relationships between fathers' involvement, as measured by reading, and child socioemotional behavior between infancy and age 7 in 9,238 intact two-parent families from the U.K. Millennium Cohort Study, a national cohort of British children born between 2000 and 2002. Once a variety of covariates and the potential bidirectional nature of relationships were taken into account, a path model showed that fathers' …
Work-Family Life Courses and Subjective Wellbeing in the MRC National Survey of Health and Development (the 1946 British birth cohort study)
Studies investigating the impact of combining paid work and family life on wellbeing have generally used information at one or a limited number of points in the life course, and have mainly focused on women. This study uses multi-channel sequence analysis to characterise work-family life courses across adulthood (ages 16-60) for more than 1500 men and women in the MRC National Study of Health and Development. Wellbeing at age 60-64 was captured b…
Family structure trajectories and early child health in the UK
A large body of literature has shown marked differences in the average levels of resources and child well-being across different family structures. Studies have examined cognitive, educational and behavioural outcomes; less is known about differentials in physical health, and about dynamics in early childhood. Furthermore, up to the present time, less emphasis has been placed on describing the underlying mechanisms relating childhood experiences …
Neighbourhood social environment and depressive symptoms in mid-life and beyond
This prospective study examines the relationship between aspects of the neighbourhood social environment and subsequent depressive symptoms in over 7,500 participants of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA).

Maternal employment and child socio-emotional behaviour in the UK
BACKGROUND: Mothers of young children are increasingly combining paid work with childrearing. Empirical evidence on the effects of maternal employment on children is contradictory and little work has considered the impact of maternal employment within the context of the employment patterns of both parents. METHODS: Data on parental employment across three sweeps (when children were in infancy, age 3 and age 5 y) of the Millennium Cohort Study, a …
Proximal predictors of change in quality of life at older ages
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether changes in health, social and economic circumstances predict change in quality of life (QoL) at older ages. DESIGN: Secondary analysis, using multiple regression analyses, of waves 1 and 3 of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. SETTING: England, 2002-6. PARTICIPANTS: A nationally representative sample of non-institutionalised adults aged over 50 years living in England with non-missing data for the variable…
Work-family life courses and metabolic markers in mid-life
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have found generally better health among those who combine employment and family responsibilities; however, most research excludes men, and relies on subjective measures of health and information on work and family activities from only 1 or 2 time points in the life course. This study investigated associations between work-family life course types (LCTs) and markers of metabolic risk in a British birth cohort study. M…
Elevated inflammatory biomarkers during unemployment
BACKGROUND: There is raised risk of mortality following unemployment, and reviews have consistently found worse psychological health among the unemployed. Inflammation is increasingly implicated as a mediating factor relating stress to physical disease and is strongly linked to depression. Inflammation may, therefore, be implicated in processes associated with excess mortality and morbidity during unemployment. This study examined associations of…

OP37 Declining Inequality in Obesity Among Urbanised Adult Mexican Women, but it is not Good News
Background The objective of this study was to assess the trend in socioeconomic inequalities in obesity from 1988-2012 for adult Mexican women. We hypothesised that education would be inversely associated with obesity in richer urban areas of Mexico but not in rural areas, and that the gradient in urban areas would become steeper as the nutrition transition progressed. Methods Data came from four nationally representative surveys carried out in 1…
Does an advantageous occupational position make women happier in contemporary Japan? Findings from the Japanese Study of Health, Occupation, and Psychosocial Factors Related Equity (J-Hope)
Occupational position is one of the determinants of psychological health, but this association may differ for men and women depending on the social context. In contemporary Japanese society, occupational gender segregation persists despite increased numbers of women participating in the labour market, which may contribute to gender specific patterns in the prevalence of poor psychological health. The present study examined gender specific associa…
