| Annotation | Data from the 1993 US Panel Study of Income Dynamics and the 1993 Health Care Burden file are used to examine caregiving relationships and help given by adult children to their parents. Daughters as household heads are distinguished from daughters as wives. Parents were found to receive substantially more care from daughters than from sons. The caregiving role of daughters who are household heads differs notably from that of wives. An analysis of caregiving, employment and housework shows that children who are carers devote more combined hours to these activities than those children who do not provide care. (KJ/RH). |
