The Gendered Caregiving Burden

Friday - November 10, 2023

This study compares caregiving for older disabled adults in the United States, Mexico, China, and Indonesia. It reveals that caregiving is largely patriarchal, with husbands often cared for by wives in all four countries. As people age, their children become primary caregivers, regardless of gender. Women in China, Indonesia, and Mexico rely heavily on their children for care, likely due to social norms and limited social safety nets.
