“…Caring for co-residing elderly, in particular, not only influences a family's daily life but decreases the well-being of both caregivers and their family members (Amirkhanyan & Wolf 2006). Yet the effect of caregiving on the entire family has received only marginal attention in the research.…”

“…To avoid such bias, studies should carefully distinguish between the family effect and the caregiving effect. Amirkhanyan and Wolf (2006), for instance, find that care provision in the household affects the well-being of the entire family and simply having a parent in need of care increases the likelihood of depression. Likewise, Bobinac et al (2010), after proxying the caregiver effect by the number of care tasks and the family effect by the actual health of the care recipient,…”

“…Nevertheless, with regard to employment, recent studies raise doubts about the endogeneity of its relationship with care (e.g., Bolin et al 2008b, Ciani 2012, Meng 2012, Van Houtven et al 2013, Nguyen & Connelly 2014 or criticize the approach being used (Hassink & Van den Berg 2009). Nor should analyses be restricted to the individual caregiver: if studies are to obtain conclusive evidence on the effects of caregiving, they must also incorporate caregivers' families and 33 formally supported alternatives (Amirkhanyan & Wolf 2006).…”

To shed light on the implications of informal caregiving, this paper reviews current research on its impact on three areas of caregivers' lives: employment, health, and family. Because the literature is inherently interdisciplinary, the research designs, sampling procedures, and statistical methods used are heterogeneous. Nevertheless, we are still able to draw several conclusions: first, despite the prevalence of informal caregiving and its primary association with lower levels of employment, the affected labor force is seemingly small. Second, such caregiving tends to lower the quality of the caregiver's psychological health, which also has a negative impact on physical health outcomes. Third, the implications for family life remain under investigated. The research findings also differ strongly among subgroups, although they do suggest that female, spousal, and intense caregivers tend to be the most affected by caregiving.JEL Classification: E26, J14, J46

“…As the aging population increases, so does the need for family caregivers for elder frail relatives. In the United States, families assume a large share of caregiving responsibilities for elderly relatives (Amirkhanyan & Wolf, 2006;authors, 1994;Travis & Piercy, 2002;Walker, Pratt, & Eddy, 1995). The number of family and friends who provide some level of long-term care to elders in the community is now close to 30 million persons, and the value of their unpaid services is estimated to be worth between $275 and $300 billion annually (Arno, 2002).…”
