Work-Family Balance Challenges Retirement, Disability, and Employment Intergenerational Family Dynamics and Caregiving

Abstract

An employee survey (N = 3,658) revealed that 23% of 1,898 respondents were assisting an elderly person. Multivariate analyses indicated that these care providers, when compared to other employees, were more likely to experience interference between their jobs and family responsibilities and more likely to miss work. Respondents also identified a number of employer-sponsored programs and benefits that could make it easier for them to combine work and caregiving roles.
