本文提供了新的证据，说明老年妇女劳动力参与率的急剧增加如何影响向老年父母提供非正式护理。基于了解社会-英国家庭纵向研究的数据，我们使用工具变量的方法，利用一个独特的改革，增加了女性国家养老金的年龄长达六年。我们的研究结果提供了密集工作和家庭外提供的非正式护理之间权衡的证据：每周工作时间增加10小时，每周提供的非正式护理减少2.1小时，相当于每年损失约2，100英镑的护理时间。在从事体力或心理社会要求高的工作的妇女以及有一个活着的孙子和一个活着的父母的“三明治一代”妇女中，这种减少最多。使用英国老龄化纵向研究的数据，我们表明，年长的父母的女儿变得没有资格要求他们的养老金经历了显着减少的照顾，他们从他们的女儿，这是没有得到补偿的正式护理或其他来源的支持增加。我们的研究结果表明，增加老年工人劳动力供给的政策需要改变长期护理政策，以弥补非正式护理的损失。
This paper provides novel evidence on how a sharp increase in labor force participation among older women affects the provision of informal care to their older parents. Based on data from Understanding Society – The UK Household Longitudinal Study, we use an instrumental variable approach that exploits a unique reform that increased the female State Pension age by up to six years. Our results provide evidence of a trade‐off between the intensive margin of work and informal care provided outside the household: an increase of 10 hours of work per week reduces the provision of informal care by 2.1 hours a week, which amounts to roughly £2,100 of yearly care‐hours lost. This reduction in caregiving is largest among women working in physically or psychosocially demanding jobs, and “sandwich generation” women who have both a living grandchild and a parent alive. Using data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing, we show that older parents whose daughters became ineligible to claim their pensions experienced a significant reduction in the amount of care they receive from their daughters, which was not compensated by an increase in formal care or other sources of support. Our results suggest that policies that increase older workers’ labor supply require changes in long‐term care policy that compensate for the loss of informal care.
