  • Title: Aging children and their older parents: the coming generation of caregiving.
    Author: Laditka JN, Laditka SB.
    Journal: J Women Aging; 2000; 12(1-2):189-204. PubMed ID: 10986858.
    Abstract:
    This study uses a data set of older children and their older parents to examine caregiving relationships. Using the 1993 Panel Study of Income Dynamics and the 1993 Health Care Burden file, we examine help given by children to their parents. We distinguish between daughters who are household heads and daughters who are wives. We find parents receive substantially more care from daughters than from sons. The caregiving role of daughters who are household heads differs notably from that of wives. An analysis of caregiving, employment, and house-work shows that children who are caregivers devote more combined hours to these activities than children who do not provide care.
