Abstract [en]

This study explored the role of gender and migration status (native-born vs. foreign-born) in the extent of family caregiving and in its self-reported consequences in well-being, work performance, labor force participation, and household finances among working carers in Sweden. The analysis uses data from a nationally representative survey conducted in 2013 (n = 3,630). The results show that foreign-born working carers provided more intensive care and reported being more negatively affected by caregiving, which applied to both genders. Among the four groups under study, foreign-born women faced the most severe consequences, as their economic independence was undermined.
