abstract: 'We examine the association between unpaid adult and child caregiving by

  older Americans and time allocated to labor supply, home production,

  leisure, and personal care. After controlling for time-invariant

  heterogeneity using panel time diaries, we find that older caregivers

  reported reduced time allocated to each domain fairly evenly overall.

  However, women showed a stronger associated decline in personal care and

  labor supply while men showed stronger declines in time devoted to home

  production. Gendered differences are more pronounced with intensive and

  non-spousal care. Results highlight time-cost differentials that could

  be driving observed gender gaps in health and labor market outcomes

  among unpaid caregivers. The study also underscores the serious

  endogeneity concerns between caregiving and broader time allocation

  patterns and highlights the need for additional research to establish

  the causal effects of caregiving.'
