今天的一些工人要照顾处于生命两端的家庭成员--孩子和老人。这是第一次专门针对夹心一代双职工夫妇的全国性研究，研究了他们的患病率、工作和家庭特征以及结果。使用计算机辅助电话访谈确定了结婚或共同生活至少1年的符合额外研究资格的夫妇;来自美国各地的309对夫妇的两名成员独立完成了邮件调查。筛查结果显示，9%至13%的美国家庭包含30岁或以上的成年人，他们工作并照顾年迈的父母和孩子。本文（a）提出了一个关于夹心一代的现有文献的概述;（B）描述了双职工夫妇照顾孩子和年迈的父母的主要特征和结果;（c）比较丈夫和妻子的研究结果;（d）讨论了这些研究结果对未来研究和管理者当前实践的影响。
Some workers today are caring for family members at both ends of the life span-children and elders. This first national study specifically of dual-earner couples in the sandwiched generation examined their prevalence and their work and family characteristics and outcomes. Couples who were married or living together for at least 1 year who met additional study qualifications were identified using computer-assisted telephone interviewing; both members of 309 couples from across the United States independently completed mail surveys. Screening results indicated that between 9% and 13% of U.S. households contain adults aged 30 or over who work and who provide care to both aging parents and children. This paper (a) presents an overview of existing literature concerning the sandwiched generation; (b) describes key characteristics and outcomes for dual-earner couples caring for children and aging parents; (c) compares the findings for husbands and wives; and (d) discusses the implications of these findings both for future research and for current practice by managers.
