abstract: 'This paper explores the challenges that female elder carers in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
United Kingdom face in combining paid work with elder care, and the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
implications of this care for their current and future working lives.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In-depth interviews with 11 working women from a large organisation were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conducted, and five of the women were re-interviewed after a period of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
one year to examine any changes in their situation. The interviews
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
revealed the precarious nature of their daily schedules, which required
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
constant effort to maintain, the intrusion of elder care into their
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working lives, and the impact it had upon their career development and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
future aspirations. The findings provide insight into the reasons why
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
carers, especially women, are more likely to reduce their working hours,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
do not take advantage of training opportunities and retire early. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
findings are discussed in relation to the expectation of an extended
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working age and gender equality.'
