The toll of caregiving: life-course family care and disparities in physical functioning
Findings highlight that the convergence of multiple caregiving roles across the life course may contribute to disparities in physical functioning in later life. These results underscore the importance of policy interventions and support systems aimed at alleviating the compounded demands of unpaid caregiving and addressing their unequal distribution across social groups.
