许多经合组织国家实施了鼓励延长劳动力参与率的政策，同时也实施了鼓励在社区提供非正式护理的政策。为了更好地了解这些政策如何影响可用的护理人员和劳动力参与者，我们需要更多证据来证明非正式护理与退休状况和时间的关系。我们使用加拿大 2007 年综合社会调查（一项针对 23,404 人的横断面调查）评估了 55 至 69 岁个人的照护强度与退休状况之间的关联。我们使用多项逻辑回归来确定提供不同强度的非正式护理（即每周护理时间）是否与个人完全退休、退休后重返工作岗位、从未退休且从事兼职或全职工作、或者是劳动力市场非参与者的可能性显着相关。我们发现，对于男性和女性来说，更高强度的护理与完全退休（相对于全职工作）相关（相对风险比分别为 2.93 和 2.04）。对于女性来说，高强度的护理也与兼职工作（1.84）和不参与劳动力（1.99）有关。男性和女性高强度护理人员更有可能在 65 岁之前退休。我们的结果强调了衡量护理强度和多种退休途径的重要性，而这些在护理和退休文献中经常被忽视。他们还指出，如果没有灵活的工作安排选择，鼓励延迟退休和更多非正式护理的政策环境可能并不合理。 (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
A number of OECD countries have implemented policies encouraging longer labour force participation in tandem with policies encouraging informal care provision in the community. To better understand how these policies may affect the available pool of caregivers and labour force participants, we need more evidence about how informal caregiving is related to retirement status and timing. We assessed the association between caregiving intensity and retirement status for individuals aged 55 to 69 using the Canadian 2007 General Social Survey, a cross-sectional survey with 23,404 individuals. We used multinomial logistic regressions to determine whether providing different intensities of informal care (i.e. hours of weekly care) was significantly associated with the likelihood that an individual was fully retired, had retired and returned to work, had never retired and was working part-time or full-time, or was a labour market non-participant. We found that higher intensity caregiving was associated with being fully retired (relative to working full-time) for men and women (relative risk ratios, 2.93 and 2.04, respectively). For women, high intensity caregiving was also associated with working part-time (1.84) and being a labour force non-participant (1.99). Male and female high intensity caregivers were more likely to be retired before age 65. Our results highlight the importance of measuring caregiving intensity and multiple paths to retirement, which are often overlooked in the caregiving and retirement literature. They also indicate that a policy context encouraging both later retirement and more informal care may not be reasonable without flexible work arrangement options. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
