We use longitudinal data from the Mexican Health and Aging Study to analyze the effect of having a parent in need of long-term care on labor supply of men and women aged 50-64 in Mexico. After accounting for both individual and time fixed effects, we find that parents' need of long-term care is associated with both a significant drop in the likelihood of working (by 2.42 percentage points), and a reduction in the number of hours worked (by 7.3%) among women who remain employed. In contrast, we find no effect on the labor supply of men. In a context of rapid population aging, the increase in the need of long-term care risks to hinder the efforts to reduce gender imbalances in the labor market.
我们使用来自墨西哥健康与老龄化研究的纵向数据,来分析家中有需要长期护理的父母对墨西哥50至64岁男性和女性劳动力供给的影响。在考虑了个体固定效应和时间固定效应之后,我们发现,父母对长期护理的需求与工作可能性的显著下降(下降2.42个百分点)以及仍在工作的女性工作时长的减少(减少7.3%)都有关联。相比之下,我们发现对男性的劳动力供给没有影响。在人口快速老龄化的背景下,长期护理需求的增加可能会阻碍减少劳动力市场性别失衡的努力。
