Informal Caregivers at Work - Phase 2
Sponsor: Team Working Life Denmark
Summary
Mental health problems are rising among children and adolescents. This may not only impact the child's level of daily functioning but also close family members. Informal caregiving is defined as unpaid care for a sick, disabled, or other closely related person. Providing long-term informal care has been associated with detrimental stress-related outcomes, and being simultaneously active in the labor market has been highlighted as an increased burden for the caregiver. Workplaces are poorly suited for dealing with private stressors despite their potential negative consequences for the caregiver's job status and health. There is a need for improving understanding of how long-term informal caregiving impacts job and health outcomes, as well as for measures minimizing potential negative consequences among at-risk occupational groups.
