“…Overall, the results indicate a reduction in work hours (Muurinen, 1986) but not in the probability of employment (Stone and Short, 1990). In addition, working women provide significantly fewer care hours (Brody and Schoonover, 1986;Soldo and Hill, 1995;Boaz, 1996).…”

“…Variables on the carer's or care recipient's income or on their human capital investment are also often incomplete or missing although they are important determinants of labor supply (Johnson and Lo Sasso, 2000). Another problem is the small number of observations in some of the data sets (Pezzin and Schone, 1999;Stone and Short, 1990;Moen et al, 1994 The analysis uses panel data and, therefore, checks for unobserved heterogeneity which is likely to be substantial in caregiving decisions. In addition, the endogenous relation between employment and care is taken into account.…”

“…For example, in the US, the early literature generally found that there were significant opportunity costs in the labour market to informal caring (Stone and Farley-Short, 1990;Boaz and Muller, 1992). In contrast, Wolf and Soldo (1994) use a simultaneous equations approach and found only small effects of care provision on the employment and hours of work of married females.…”

“…In particular, an expanding literature has emerged over the past couple of decades on both sides of the Atlantic on the relationship between informal care and labour market activities. Early US studies (Stone and Farley-Short, 1990;Boaz and Muller, 1992) first highlighted the large impact that informal care can have on labour market outcomes.…”

Despite the wide variations in informal care provision, it is found that labour market outcomes do not differ markedly by different care categories across spatial areas within England and Wales. However, the analysis reveals that labour market outcomes for males as well as females are heavily influenced for those who provide high levels of caring, especially in the South Wales Valleys. For example, the largest impact of caring on the probability of not working for males and for part-time work for females is seen in this area.
