Eldercaring employees: an agenda for employers.
The aging of the U.S. society and the growth in female labor force participation have produced a workplace environment in which eldercare is becoming common. In the context of the employed caregiver, this article reviews the nature of long-term caregiving arrangements, including the onset of long-term care need, the trajectory that such care takes and the means by which most long-term care needs are met. Six specific recommendations are offered for employers to proactively plan for the impact of eldercare in the workplace.
