Women's Caregiving and Paid Work: Causal Relationships in Late Midlife Journals of Gerontology: Series B: Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences 52B,4 (July 1997): S170-S179. Also: http://psychsocgerontology.oxfordjournals.org/content/52B/4/S170.abstract Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Gerontological Society of America Keyword(s): Employment; Health Care; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Part-Time Work Used 1984 and 1987 data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Mature Women to examine the causal relationship between employment and caring for an ill or disabled friend or relative over the 3 yr. period, and to study the ways these women balanced their caregiving demands and their employment. A total of 3,147 women participated in both the 1984 and 1987 samples; 1,389 cases contained complete information on all independent variables: demographic data, caregiving, employment characteristics, and employment history. Results showed that employment did not affect whether or not women started caregiving, but that women who did start were more likely to reduce employment hours or to stop work.Thus, the causal relationship between employment and caregiving in late midlife is largely unidirectional, with women reducing work hours to meet caregiving demands.
