| Annotation | Using a feminist perspective as a guiding framework, this paper examines the relative contribution of employment, caregiving and economic factors in predicting levels of strain for employed women caregivers. Hierarchical regression analyses indicate that, in addition to variables describing the caregiving situation, the consequences of economic variables significantly contribute to caregiver strain. The effects of these long term economic consequences on women's lives illustrates that work and family are intertwined in complex ways. The recognition of these economic consequences represents a critical contribution to the research on employment and caregiving. |
