非正规护理在人口老龄化国家日益重要。以往的研究已经讨论了长期护理系统如何影响非正式照顾者的行为，但没有太多关注照顾者的情况，特别是他们的健康，如何影响那些接受他们的照顾。本研究利用日本老龄化与退休研究，实证分析了照顾者的健康状况对接受照顾的老年父母的影响。我们发现经验证据表明，照顾者的健康下降会对接受照顾者的健康产生不利影响。我们看到非正式照顾者和他们的姻亲之间的这种联系，表明这些影响超出了遗传影响。
Informal care is increasingly important in countries undergoing population aging. Previous research has discussed how the long-term care system may affect the behaviors of informal caregivers but has paid not much attention to how changes in caregivers' circumstances, particularly their health, affect those receiving their care. Using the Japanese Study of Aging and Retirement, we empirically examine how caregivers' health condition may affect the elderly parents receiving their care. We find empirical evidence that declining caregivers' health adversely affects care recipients' health. We see such links between informal caregivers and their in-laws, demonstrating that these effects go beyond genetic influences.
