非正式照料责任对照料者从事有酬就业的意愿和能力的影响,一直是若干研究的主题。相比之下,就业状况对从事非正规护理的意愿的影响却没有得到很好的探讨。本文集中在这个较少研究的方向的因果关系使用的数据提供的15波英国家庭面板调查。我们发现,就业参与和收入都对提供非正式护理的意愿产生负面影响。这一证据对健康和社会护理政策产生了影响,因为非正式护理已被证明是正式长期护理的重要替代品。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The impact of informal care responsibilities on the willingness and ability of caregivers to undertake paid employment has been the Subject of a number of studies. In contrast, the effect of employment status on willingness to undertake informal care has been less well explored. This paper concentrates on this less-studied direction of causality using the data provided by 15 waves of the British Household Panel Survey. We find that employment participation and earnings both impact negatively on willingness to supply informal care. This evidence has implications for health and social care policy since informal care has been shown to be a significant substitute for formal long-term care. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
