“…First, with regard to upward and lateral care, the formal provision of services directly to the care‐receiver (care‐in‐kind) should enable caregivers to remain in employment because their care provision is less likely to be intensive and more likely to complement formal services. Second, policy schemes that enable informal caregivers to take care of their relatives (cash‐for‐care) should lead to caregivers giving up employment, because they motivate predominantly those individuals with a weak labour market attachment to take over caregiving duties, which are then often intensive and time‐consuming (Czaplicki, 2012; Frericks, Jensen, & Pfau‐Effinger, 2014; Le Bihan et al, 2019). We thus formulate the following hypothesis with regard to upward and lateral care:H2 Higher expenditure for cash‐for‐care increases upward and lateral caregivers' labour market exits and decreases their working hours, care‐in‐kind expenditure decreases upward and lateral caregivers' labour market exits and increases their working hours .…”

This article investigates how different types of informal caregiving – upward, lateral and downward – impact men's and women's decisions to retire or to reduce their working hours, and how welfare policy characteristics moderate the linkage between informal care provision and employment participation. The analyses are based on six waves from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). We exploit the data's longitudinal structure by applying fixed‐effects regression models with lagged, time‐varying country characteristics. The results show that, in most cases, upward caregiving to parents is less relevant for deciding to remain in the labour market than lateral care (especially to siblings, friends and neighbours) and downward grandchild care. The welfare context moderates the impact of caregiving on labour market participation, with variation between the different types of care provided.

“…The employment status of a potential family caregiver is an important factor as well. People with a lower labor market attachment have a higher probability of starting family care (Czaplicki, 2012(Czaplicki, , 2020. The opportunity cost of starting caregiving might explain this effect of labor market status.…”

Objective: We explore gender differences in support of the norm that children must provide care for their parents. Background: Society's values and norms play a crucial role in deciding whether to provide family care. We investigate these values and norms on family care by analyzing which individual and country level factors affect them. Method: We use data from the European Values Study wave 5 and multilevel regression techniques. The question, "Adult children have the duty to provide long-term care for their parents", serves as our dependent variable. The explanatory variables at the individual level are gender and further socio-demographic variables. At the country level, we include expenditures on health care, and the female labor force participation rate. Results: The results show that women, as well as those living in countries with high expenditure on health care and high female labor force participation rates, are less supportive of the norm that children have an obligation to provide care for their parents. Furthermore, the gender effect is stronger in countries with a higher female labor force participation rate. Conclusion: Norms and values on family care are not fixed and can change, as suggested by the differences between countries. They are also not shared by all social groups equally, as the differences between women and men and along other socio-demographics show.
