中文摘要

快速增长的长期照护需求中,有相当大一部分由家庭成员满足,其中许多人同时也在工作;已有研究表明,家庭照护会影响劳动力市场结果。我们将有关家庭照护角色的调查回答与行政收入记录相匹配,以估计家庭照护者在其报告的照护事件开始前后25年间的就业轨迹。这些轨迹因性别而存在显著差异。相对于匹配的对照组,照护导致女性的收入和就业均有所下降,而男性则是在经历显著的劳动供给中断后才开始承担照护责任。

Abstract

A significant share of the rapidly growing demand for long-term care is met by family members, many of whom also work, and family caregiving has been shown to affect labor market outcomes. We use survey responses about family caregiving roles linked to administrative earnings records to estimate the employment trajectories of family caregivers over a 25-year period around the reported start of a caregiving episode. These trajectories vary significantly by gender. Relative to a matched comparison group, caregiving precipitates a drop in both earnings and employment for women, while men enter caregiving only after experiencing significant labor supply disruptions.
