Description
Lawrence Sacco and Brian Beach study how unpaid caregiving shapes working life expectancy after age 50. Unpaid care for ill relatives is rising as populations age and policy favors aging at home. Care peaks in mid to later life, just as working lives are being extended in many countries.
Working life expectancy sums years in paid work while allowing for complex retirement paths, such as phased exit or return to work. Data come from longitudinal aging studies in England and Sweden. The authors compare frequent caregivers with those who give care only in short spells. The design shows how distinct care trajectories alter total working years, a fuller picture than a single snapshot can give.
