abstract: 'This paper considers the impact of the distance between employed
caregivers and their elderly relatives on the provision of various forms
of family-based assistance ({''''}eldercare{''''}), and in so doing it
contributes to two overlapping literatures, one on the geography of care
for elderly persons and the other on eldercare as a ``work and
family{''''} issue. The paper also seeks to interpret and understand the
spatiality of eldercare in light of evolving public policy on the care
of dependent populations, and does so with an eye to the highly gendered
nature of family caregiving. The empirical portion of the paper draws on
a national survey of work and family conducted by GARNET (The Canadian
Aging Research Network). Analysis of data for 1149 respondents with
eldercare responsibilities reveals significant distance-decay effects in
the average (weekly) number of hours devoted to eldercare. However,
disaggregation by gender reveals that only male caregivers display this
normative behaviour. Analysis of the average time-distances at which
particular types of assistance are provided reveals a similar ``gender
gap{''''}-women are willing to travel farther, more often, than male
caregivers. The results suggest that the reconceptualization of aging as
a ``private{''''} problem, to be attended to (by women) in the family and
community, will particularly affect the careers and family lives of
female caregivers, for they are more likely than their male counterparts
to take on more travel and try to squeeze more into already tight time
budgets. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.'
