Women in the Middle: A Myth in the Making?

Stull, Donald E.; And Others

Family Relations, v43 n3 p319-24 Jul 1994

Findings from study of daughters (n=112) in midlife who were caring for their elderly mothers indicated that employment outside of home was related only to increase in physical strain in caregiving. Presence of children in household predicted lower levels of caregiver strain and greater caregiver well-being. (Author/NB)
