More Information
Summary:Employment decisions of full-time, part-time and not employed daughters and daughters-in-law (n = 157) are described over the first 18 months of parent care at two points in time: three months after assuming care and 15 months later. Employment decisions were also examined when caregiving continued (n = 55), when it was discontinued (n = 55) and when a parent died (n = 47). Findings indicate that part-time employed daughters make more changes and adjustments in their employment than do full-time or not employed daughters. When a parent died, more changes in employment occurred prior to the death than when a parent remained in care.
