Impact of dementia caregiving on the labor force participation and lifetime earning of middle age adults
Dementia caregiving is common among middle age adult children and reduces their labor supply. For most workers, earnings levels peak at middle age and labor market exits are permanent. Ongoing work employs dynamic microsimulation to quantify the impact of dementia caregiving on lifetime earnings and household wealth accumulation and differences by sex, race, and education.
