“…For example, scrutinizing the role of support networks in the family care–employment relationship could be an avenue of future research. A recent study showed that two thirds of all family caregivers receive care support from other family members, friends, or neighbors, but also from professional care services (Ehrlich & Kelle, 2019). However, our data does not allow to investigate the role of informal and formal support networks on female family caregivers’ chances to enter employment or to increase working hours.…”

Previous research has shown that women providing family care tend to decrease paid work. We take the opposite perspective and examine how current and previous family care tasks influence women’s likelihood to (re-)enter employment or to increase working hours. Family care is defined as caring for an ill, disabled or frail elderly partner, parent, or other family member. Using German Socio-Economic Panel data, we apply Cox shared frailty regression modeling to analyze transitions (1) into paid work and (2) from part-time to full-time work among women aged 25–59. The results indicate that in the German policy context, part-time working women providing extensive family care have a lower propensity to increase working hours. When family care ends, the likelihood that part-time working women change to full-time does not increase. Homemaking women’s likelihood of entering the workforce is not influenced by either current or previous family care tasks.

“…Professionalization, including the increased academic qualification level of nursing care, and economizing trends such as cost containment, efficiency-oriented measures, provider competition, and consumer choice also took hold in the German care sector since the introduction of long-term care insurance in the mid-1990s ( Auth, 2012 ; Pfau-Effinger, 2012 ). Care of the elderly is at the same time still strongly dependent on informal care by family members ( Ehrlich & Kelle, 2019 ; Pfau-Effinger, 2012 ). Despite the neo-social reconfiguration of state intervention ( Lessenich, 2015 ), German welfare policy is still characterized by relatively high public social spending and comprehensive social security ( Hinrichs, 2017 ).…”

In the absence of effective pharmacological therapy options, the focus of dementia and Alzheimer’s research has shifted from treatment and care to risk prediction, early detection, and prevention. Public health communication and media coverage regarding dementia emphasize the individual responsibility for dementia risk management. Focusing on the social and moral implications of the new understanding and public representation of dementia, we present an analysis of medical science, nursing science, and media discourses in Germany between 2014 and 2019. We show which notions of dementia and prevention characterize the medical and nursing science debates regarding dementia and how scientific knowledge is transferred into media discourses on dementia. We further discuss how dementia risk communication interacts with contemporary social and health policies and in what ways current dementia discourses are associated with a (self-)responsibilization of cognitive aging.

“…The importance of informal long-term care in Germany is substantial: From the approximately 3.4 million individuals receiving benefits from the German Statutory Care Insurance in 2017, about 1.7 million received informal care from relatives (Statistisches Bundesamt 2017). Estimates obtained from the German Socio-Economic Panel, a large longitudinal household study, revealed that most co-residential care-recipients are the partner or spouse, whereas extra-residential care is provided to parents or parents-in-law (Ehrlich and Kelle 2019). Although care-giving has been related to lower employment rates in the USA and Germany as well (Geyer and Schulz 2014;Lilly et al 2007), an overall increase in employment Responsible Editor: Marja J.

Informal care-giving and the intention to give up employment: the role of perceived supervisor behaviour in a cohort of German employees

Current social policies in the European Union addressing employment, retirement and long-term care are expected to result in increasing employment rates among informal carers. The present investigation contributes to previous research by focusing on how specific work-related factors, in this case supervisor behaviour, may facilitate the fulfilment of the demands arising from paid work and care and ultimately influence the desire to give up employment. To this end, population data from the German Cohort Study on Work, Age, Health and Work Participation conducted in 2011 and 2014 are analysed (n = 3916). Three research hypotheses investigating the associations between care-giving, supervisor behaviour, the intention to give up employment and work-private-life conflict are tested by means of cumulative link models. The results suggest that the intention to give up employment is stronger among employed carers. In addition, the perception that one’s supervisor is considerate towards subordinates and is effective in planning, coordinating work and solving conflicts is found to be negatively related to the desire to give up employment, especially among carers. The statistical analyses reveal that supervisor behaviour mediates the association between the level of work-private-life conflict and the intention to give up employment. It is concluded that the working conditions may exert a substantial influence on the levels of psychosocial load carers experience by facilitating or hindering the extent to which carers are allowed to accommodate their work schedules and job assignments to the conflicting demands of their dual role as workers and carers.
