“…The latter tend to have lower wealth and greater financial insecurity are likely to work towards their mandatory retirement age in order to enable them to live more independently in older age. Future studies with data on common measures of accumulated wealth, such as net worth, home ownership and total assets, need to confirm the proxy role of having work-limiting health conditions on low wealth [ 55 ]. As China is ready to raise the mandatory retirement age [ 56 ], it is important to monitor the trend of employment among those with work-limiting health conditions to allow for the design of welfare programs that aid the well-being of those individuals.…”

Unpaid family caregivers must consider the economic trade-off between caregiving and paid employment. Prior literature has suggested that labor force participation (LFP) declines with caregiving intensity, but no study has evaluated this relationship by accounting for the presence of both kinks and discontinuities. Here we used respondents of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study baseline survey who were nonfarming, of working age (aged 45–60) and had a young grandchild and/or a parent/parent-in-law. For women and men separately, a caregiving threshold-adjusted probit model was used to assess the association between LFP and weekly unpaid caregiving hours. Instrumental variables were used to rule out the endogeneity of caregiving hours. Of the 3718 respondents in the analysis, LFP for men was significantly and inversely associated with caregiving that involved neither discontinuities nor kinks. For women, a kink was identified at the caregiving threshold of eight hrs/w such that before eight hours, each caregiving hour was associated with an increase of 0.0257 in the marginal probability of LFP, but each hour thereafter was associated with a reduction of 0.0014 in the marginal probability of LFP. These results have implications for interventions that simultaneously advance policies of health, social care and labor force.

Cross Cultural Management: An International Journal

Purpose -In this time of disequilibrium, old approaches are not capable of meeting our growing challenges. In addition to worrying about customers, employees, products, and services, managers and business owners have to consider matters such as globalization, the environment, instant communications, and technologies once only imagined in science fiction. Not surprisingly, there is a growing perception that we need new ways of thinking about business, economics, and society. The aim of this paper is to address this urgent matter. Design/methodology/approach -This paper addresses this urgent matter through the lens of an underlying theme of this issue: "care is worthy of investment, policy, and practice because it delivers both measurable results and a more humane world". Findings -Offering a perspective that goes beyond the capitalism vs socialism debate, it shows that the failure to recognize the economic value of the work of caring and caregiving has been a major obstacle to more equitable and sustainable ways of living and making a living. Practical implications -It proposes measures of economic health that take into account the value of care, as well as the large, still generally ignored, contributions of women, who do most of the care work in both market and nonmarket economic sectors. Social implications -It places economic valuations in their social context from the perspective of two new social categories: the partnership system and the domination system, revealing the imbalanced gendered values inherent in the latter. Originality/value -It shows the financial value of caring and proposes economic inventionseconomic measurements, policies, and practices -that support caring for people, starting in early childhood, as well as caring for our natural environment.
