Despite the high numbers of children who provide care to family members in industrialized countries, relatively little is known about the impact of caregiving on children's development. In this article, issues related to children's caregiving, including a discussion of who provides care, the costs and benefits of caring, and directions for future research are reviewed. This review is intended to stimulate further study of this issue, particularly in clarifying who is most vulnerable to caregiving burden and understanding how caregiving affects children's lives and development.
尽管在工业化国家中有大量儿童为家庭成员提供照料，但对于照料对儿童发展的影响却知之甚少。在本文中，我们将审视与儿童照料相关的问题，包括对照料提供者的讨论、照料的成本与收益，以及未来研究的方向。这篇综述旨在激发对该问题的进一步研究，尤其是在明确谁最易承受照料负担以及理解照料如何影响儿童生活与发展方面。
