对于中年晚期的男性和女性来说，非正式护理或向老年人或残疾家人和朋友提供无偿、自愿护理已成为越来越普遍的经历。作者研究了非正式护理如何影响退休过渡以及性别如何塑造这种关系。我们的数据是 1994-1995 年康奈尔大学退休与福祉研究中 763 名符合养老金资格的男性和女性。离散时间事件历史分析的结果表明，某些类型的护理会影响退休时间，但这种关联取决于护理者和护理接受者之间的关系，并且从根本上受到性别的调节。例如，照顾丈夫的妻子的退休几率是不照顾丈夫的女性的五倍，而照顾妻子的丈夫退休的速度要慢得多。我们的证据表明，在这个样本中，照顾责任会导致中年后期性别角色典型就业行为的增加。
Informal caregiving, or the provision of unpaid, voluntary care to elderly or disabled family and friends, is an increasingly common experience for both men and women in late midlife. The authors examine the ways in which informal caregiving influences the transition to retirement and how this relationship is shaped by gender. Our data are 763 pension-eligible men and women in the 1994-1995 Cornell Retirement and Well-Being Study. Results from discrete-time event history analyses indicate that certain types of caregiving shape the timing of retirement but that the association depends on the relationship between caregiver and care recipient and is fundamentally moderated by gender. For example, wives caring for their husbands have retirement odds 5 times greater than women who are not caregivers, whereas husbands caring for their wives are substantially slower to retire. Our evidence suggests that in this sample, caregiving responsibilities lead to increased sex role-typical employment behavior in late midlife.
