对正规和非正规护理的需求不断增加，可能是由于正在进行的人口结构转型，同时传统的家庭劳动分工正在进一步消失。旨在增加非正规护理供应的公共决策需要了解各种激励措施对个人护理提供者的相对重要性。本文作为一个出发点，愿意提供非正式护理的部分原因是在何种程度上，它对劳动力市场的结果产生不利影响，并分析了劳动力市场的结果，提供非正式护理一个人的老年父母（S）之间的50+欧洲的影响。来自SHARE（欧洲健康、老龄化和退休调查）的数据用于检查提供的非正式护理时间与（1）就业可能性、（2）工作时间和（3）工资之间的关联。研究结果表明，向年迈的父母提供非正式护理与放弃劳动力市场机会方面的重大成本有关，这些不利影响因国家而异。(C)2007 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
An increasing demand for both formal and informal care is likely to result from the ongoing demographic transition at the same time as there is a further move away from the traditional domestic division of labour. Public policy-making that aims at increasing the supply of informal care necessitates knowledge about the relative importance of various incentives for individual care providers. This paper takes as a point of departure that the willingness to supply informal care is partly explained by the extent to which it adversely affects labour-market outcomes and analyses the effect on labour-market outcomes of providing informal care to one's elderly parent(s) among the 50+ of Europe. Data from SHARE (Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe) was used to examine the association between, on the one hand, hours of informal care provided and, on the other, (1) the probability of employment, (2) hours worked, and (3) wages, respectively. The results suggest that giving informal care to one's elderly parents is associated with significant costs in terms of foregone labour-market opportunities and that these adverse effects vary between countries.
