| Annotation | Population ageing requires an understanding of the implications of and for eldercare. Using American Time Use Surveys, the authors find that caregivers spend less time on personal care and social activities or sports, and more time on housework than individuals who do not provide any eldercare. They also report higher levels of stress and less happiness. In addition, even if caregivers may not provide care every day, on days when they do, they also spend more time on housework and less on paid work, and report higher levels of sadness than on days when they do not provide care. Regular caregivers experience worse well-being than non-caregivers, but also experience additional strain on days when they provide care. (RH). |
