Paid Leave to Meet the Health Needs of Aging Family Members in 193 Countries.
Women and workers over 50 disproportionately provide care for aging family members worldwide, including the 101 million who are care-dependent. Paid leave for adult health needs, which temporarily replaces employment income for workers providing care, can critically support both caregivers' economic outcomes and care recipients' wellbeing. We created quantitatively comparable data on paid leave policies that can be used to meet adult family members' health needs in all United Nations member states. Globally, 112 countries fail to provide any paid leave that can be used to meet the serious health needs of an aging parent, spouse, or adult child. These gaps have profound consequences for older workers providing care as well as care access by aging, ill, and disabled adults.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Aging & Social Policy offers a platform for insightful contributions from an international and interdisciplinary group of policy analysts and scholars. It provides an in-depth examination and analysis of critical phenomena that impact aging and the development and implementation of programs for the elderly from a global perspective, with a broad scope that encompasses not only the United States but also regions including Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Latin America, Asia, and the Asia-Pacific rim.
The journal regularly addresses a wide array of issues such as long-term services and supports, home- and community-based care, nursing-home care, assisted living, long-term care financing, financial security, employment and training, public and private pension coverage, housing, transportation, health care access, financing, and quality, family dynamics, and retirement. These topics are of significant importance to the field of aging and social policy, reflecting the journal's commitment to presenting a comprehensive view of the challenges and solutions related to aging populations around the world.
