“…It would be valuable to determine and compare the experiences of both female and male caregivers of infants from a very young age. Future research on behavior change techniques would need to consider the experiences of all caregivers, potentially including extended family in multi-generational homes ( Burgess & Muir 2020 ). The time points at which the data were sampled were chosen opportunistically to coincide with a wider research study, and so the second time point covered a relatively wide age range (7 to 21 months), and we were not able to hone in on issues specific to a very narrow timeframe of hearing aid experience.…”

“…Supporting this argument is research published in May 2020 found that in 2013/14, only 1.7% of households in England had a grandparent residing in the same household. [3] A major challenge is the lack of a consistent definition for multi-generational households, with different agencies collecting data and researching this area according to different definitions. Therefore, a working definition was used in this analysis to identify households with broad generational mix beyond more common parent-child family groupings.…”

“…One definition used three generations of adults in a single household and estimated 1.8 million such multi-generational households in the UK in 2013/14, a number that has increased since 2009/10. [3] Data from the Office for National Statistics' (ONS) Annual Population Survey (APS) shows that multi-generational households (defined as households containing at least one individual aged 0-19, 20-69 and ≥ 70 years old) are more prevalent among non-White ethnicity households than among White ethnicity households. [4] UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) collects and maintains data on positive tests for SARS-CoV-2 including addresses where cases reside, as a central component of communicable disease surveillance.…”

Background Household transmission has been demonstrated to be an important factor in the population-level growth of COVID-19. UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) maintains data on positive tests for COVID-19 and the residential addresses of cases. We sought to use this information to characterise clusters of COVID-19 in multi-generational households in England. Methods Using cross-sectional design, cases of COVID-19 were assigned to clusters if they occurred in the same residential property in a 14-day rolling window. Patient demographic data were supplemented with reference to the ONS index of multiple deprivation and population density. Multi-generational households were defined as a cluster with at least three people, with one case in a person who was 0-16 years old and one case in a person who was ≥ 60 years old, with at least 16 years between two members of each age group. Results A total of 3,647,063 COVID-19 cases were reported between 01 April 2020 and 20 May 2021. Of these, 1,980,527 (54.3 %) occurred in residential clusters. Multi-generational households formed 1.5 % of clusters, with these more likely to occur in areas of higher population density and higher relative deprivation. Multi-generational clusters were more common among households of non-White ethnicity and formed larger clusters than non-multi-generational clusters (median cluster size 6, IQR 4-11 vs 3, IQR 3-4, respectively). Conclusion Multi-generational clusters were not highly prevalent in England during the study period, however were more common in certain populations.

“…Asian and western countries for example significantly differ in employee experiences associated with family relationships and well-being (Tsai and Chen, 2017). In many countries multi-generational households have significantly risen, which induces additional caregiving responsibilities for employees (Burgess and Muir, 2020). LGBT employees in many Middle Eastern countries may require a greater deal of organizational support since their sexual orientation or gender identity is not protected by local laws (Ulaş-Kılıç et al, 2019).…”

No family left behind: Flexibility i-deals for employees with stigmatized family identities

Most contemporary employers offer some policies to facilitate work-family (WF) balance for their employees. However, do the policies designed to help everyone suffice for unique employees with stigmatized social identities and non-traditional family structures? We conceptualize stigmatized family identity (SFI) to provide key insights on distinct WF issues experienced by such employees, and potential solutions in the form of person-specific work arrangements called idiosyncratic deals (i-deals). First, we define the construct of SFI, and exemplify its different types arising from the intersection of sexual orientation/gender identity/race and a non-traditional family structure. Second, we integrate literatures on WF and stigma to theorize the broad spectrum of WF issues and ensuing effects on job outcomes of employees with SFIs. Finally, we advance theory by developing a multi-level framework highlighting the importance of flexibility i-deals for employees with SFIs. Our framework identifies boundary conditions at individual, team, and organizational levels that can encourage (or deter) such employees from seeking i-deals. In doing so, we also explore the importance of privilege when it comes to SFI employees seeking i-deals.
