| Annotation | This scoping review aimed to find all North American literature published between 1996 and 2016 on male working carers and to compare this with information on female working carers. Searches were performed on Business Source Complete, Sociological Abstracts, Ageline, FACTIVA and CINAHL. Of 506 articles found (including some grey literature), 45 met all inclusion criteria. Five qualitative themes were identified: caregiving characteristics; motives for caring; work impacts; health impacts; caring in the workplace; and coping strategies. This review narrows the gap in the literature with respect to the similarities and differences between male and female working carers, and the way in which they approach caregiving tasks. (RH). |
