abstract: 'A substantial proportion of working age individuals in Britain are
looking after sick, disabled or elderly people, often combining their
work and caring responsibilities. Previous research has shown that
informal care is linked with substantial opportunity costs for the
individual due to forgone wages as a result of non-labour market
participation. In this paper we show that informal carers exhibit
further disadvantages even when participating. Using the British
Household Panel Study (BHPS) we decompose wage differentials and show
that carers can expect lower returns for a given set of characteristics,
with this wage penalty varying along the pay distribution and by gender.
Furthermore, opportunity costs from forgone wages and wage penalties are
estimated and found to be substantial. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights
