| Annotation | Examines the labour market experience of individuals who care for sick, disabled or older people, and explores the economic impact of having care responsibilities. The main result of this paper is that while carers do, on average, participate less and and spend less time in paid employment than non-carers, at the individual level the effects are rather more complicated. The effects of caring on carers labour force behaviour depends very much on the time and intensity of care which they provide and on gender and demographic variables as well. |
