New Evidence on Employment Effects of Informal Care Provision in Europe

Objective To estimate how labor force participation is affected when adult children provide informal care to their parents. Data Source Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe from 2004 to 2013. Study Design To offset the problem of endogeneity, we exploit the availability of other potential caregivers within the family as predictors of the probability to provide care for a dependent parent. Contrary to most previous studies, the dataset covers the whole working‐age population in the majority of European countries.
