Abstract:
Abstract This study compares patterns of gender difference in the receipt of informal care among community-dwelling older adults across the United States, Korea, and China. Data came from the 2014 HRS, the 2014 KLoSA, and the 2015 CHARLS. Logistic regression models were used to predict the receipt of informal care by gender. We also examined how the effects of health and living arrangement on the receipt of informal care differ depending on gender. In the United States and China, older women were more likely to receive informal care than men. However, older Korean women were less likely to receive informal care than men. The effects of health and living arrangement on the use of informal care were moderated by gender in different ways across countries. Discussions include implications for practice and policy to reduce the gender gap in the receipt of informal care.

Abstract:
Although not typically considered formal mental health care professionals, clergy are regularly contacted as a resource by people with mental illness. Little is known about the clergy's role in this capacity. The aim of this research is to explore the experiences and perspectives of Canadian ministers of the United Church in response to mental health issues using simple qualitative description. Three female and nine male urban ministers of the United Church of Canada were recruited to participate in semi-structured interviews. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and analyzed by hand for relevant themes. Themes within the following three main topics emerged: how ministers served people with mental illness, ministers' experiences working alongside formal mental health care professionals, and remaining challenges and facilitators. Ministers reported providing various support services for people with mental illness. While ministers reported little direct collaboration, they reported regularly referring people with suspected mental illness to formal mental health care professionals. Finally, ministers cited an innate trustworthiness in their profession and their community as facilitators, while remaining challenges included limitations in terms of financial resources, time, trust between themselves and formal mental health care professionals, and trust between ministers and their colleagues. The findings of this research indicate that collaborative relationships should be encouraged between formal mental health care professionals and ministers of the United Church to better serve people with mental illness.
N'étant généralement pas considérés comme des professionnels de la santé mentale, les membres du clergé sont régulièrement sollicités comme personnes ressources par des personnes atteintes de maladie mentale. On en connaît peu sur le rôle du clergé dans le domaine de la santé mentale. Le but de cette recherche est d'explorer les expériences et points de vue de pasteurs de l'Église Unie du Canada en réponse aux problèmes de la santé mentale à l'aide de la description qualitative simple. Trois femmes et neuf hommes pasteurs urbains de l'Église Unie du Canada ont été recrutés pour participer à des entrevues semi-structurées. Les entrevues ont été enregistrées, transcrites et analysées. Trois grands thèmes ont émergé : la façon dont les pasteurs mettent leurs services au profit des personnes atteintes de maladie mentale, l'expérience des pasteurs à travailler conjointement avec les professionnels des soins de santé mentale, et les défis restants et les mesures facilitant la prise en charge de ces personnes. Les pasteurs ont déclaré fournir divers services de soutien aux personnes atteintes de maladie mentale. Bien que les pasteurs aient signalé peu de collaboration directe des professionnels des soins de la santé mentale, ils ont déclaré leur diriger régulièrement des personnes soupçonnées d'être atteintes d'une maladie mentale. Finalement, les pasteurs ont déclaré avoir une confiance innée en leur profession et en leur communauté comme intervenants facilitateurs, bien que de nombreux défis se posent au niveau des ressources financières, du temps, de la confiance entre pasteurs et professionnels des soins de la santé mentale, ainsi que de la confiance entre les pasteurs et leurs collègues. Les résultats de cette recherche indiquent que les relations de collaboration entre les professionnels des soins de la santé mentale et les pasteurs de l'Église Unie devraient être encouragées pour mieux servir les personnes atteintes de maladie mentale.

Abstract:
There is a growing international interest in informal payment for health care - a payment that patients give, typically to medical doctors, for formally free services. The phenomenon is widespread and persistent in post-communist countries, but also reported from other countries in Africa and Asia. This thesis focuses on informal payments in Hungary, aiming to establish their scale and the motivation for giving, issues whose understanding are crucial in assessing their policy importance. The theoretical literature can be summarised in two contrasting hypothesis for informal payments. One is that patients pay because they want better care, which implies that payments reflect, and may sustain, defects in service delivery. This thesis elaborates a new theoretical framework that builds on this 'fee-for-service' hypothesis and Hirschman's theory of 'exit, voice, loyalty', identifying informal payments as one manifestation of another response to a perceived decline in health services: informal/internal exit or 'inxit' for short. The opposing view, the 'donation' hypothesis, however, considers such payments as motivated by gratitude, with no adverse effect on performance of health care. Unfortunately, previously existing evidence is inconclusive regarding both the motivation and scale of informal payments. The empirical part of this thesis addresses both issues directly, and also indirectly addresses motivation exploring any impact on equity, using a household survey, indepth interviews with patients and doctors, secondary analysis of existing datasets, official statistics and documentary analysis. Findings suggest that informal payment is indeed a problem in Hungary. First, although it is not a substantial source of health care financing (less than 5% of total expenditures in 2001), its importance as an incentive comes from its extent and distribution (at least 60% of the net income of family doctors and specialists) rather than its overall magnitude. Second, although survey findings did not confinn infonnal payment as a barrier to utilization and they supported gratitude as the most important motive, a contradiction has been found between the reasons for giving cited in the household survey and the revelation of pressures on patients to pay from in-depth interviews. Taken together, these suggest that payments generally take place a 'coercive' context, so the case for the 'donation' hypothesis is weak.

Abstract:
Du contexte de vieillissement démographique en Europe, dont sa prévalence et sa généralisation au continent européen le rendent inédit et sans précédent, découle un certain nombre de problématiques. Ainsi, l’augmentation du nombre de personnes âgées, et plus particulièrement, du nombre de personnes âgées en situation de dépendance démocratise la question de leur prise en charge et du rôle de chacune des parties prenantes. Cette thèse se propose d’étudier les problématiques relatives au vieillissement et à l’offre d’aide informelle. Le premier Chapitre étudie la relation entre mortalité et revenu. Le deuxième Chapitre s’intéresse aux motivations des enfants à devenir les aidants informels de leurs parents. Les troisième et quatrième Chapitres analysent, respectivement, l’impact de l’aide informelle sur la santé de l’aidant et celle de son partenaire
In a context of population ageing, the number of people requiring long-term care (LTC) is expected to increase. This fast growing old-age population is mainly cared informally, either by family members or close relatives. This thesis aims at contributing to the existing knowledge about ageing and informal care. The first Chapter examines the relationship between longevity and income in European countries. In Chapter 2, we study the incentives of adult children to care their old-age parents. Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 address, respectively, the consequences of the decision to care on both caregivers’ health as well as on the caregivers ‘ couple

This dissertation examines how caregiving for an elderly parent affects an adult child's labor supply and wages. In the first chapter (co-authored with Courtney H. Van Houtven and Norma B. Coe) we identify the relationship between informal care and labor force participation in the United States, both on the intensive and extensive margins, and examine wage effects. We control for time-invariant individual heterogeneity; rule out or control for endogeneity; examine effects for men and women separately; and analyze heterogeneous effects by task and intensity. We find modest decreases--1.4-2.4 percentage points--in the likelihood of working for caregivers providing personal care. Male and female chore caregivers, meanwhile, are more likely to retire. For female care providers who remain working, we find evidence that they decrease work by 3-10 hours per week and face a 2.3-2.6 percent wage penalty. We find little effect of caregiving on working men's hours or wages except for a wage premium for male intensive caregivers. In the second chapter I formulate and estimate a dynamic discrete choice model of elder parent care and work to analyze how caregiving affects a woman's current and future labor force participation and wages. Intertemporal tradeoffs, such as decreased future earning capacity due to a current reduction in labor market work, are central to the decision to provide care. The existing literature, however, overlooks such long-term considerations. I depart from the previous literature by modeling caregiving and work decisions in an explicitly intertemporal framework. The model incorporates dynamic elements such as the health of the elderly parent, human capital accumulation and job offer availability. I estimate the model on a sample of women from the Health and Retirement Study by efficient method of moments. The estimates indicate that intertemporal tradeoffs matter considerably. In particular, women face low probabilities of returning to work or increasing work hours after a caregiving spell. Using the estimates, I simulate several government sponsored elder care policy experiments: a longer unpaid leave than currently available under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; a paid work leave; and a caregiver allowance. The leaves encourage more work among intensive care providers since they guarantee a woman can return to her job, while the caregiver allowance discourages work. A comparison of the welfare gains generated by the policies shows that half the value of the paid leave can be achieved with the unpaid leave, and the caregiver allowance generates gains comparable to the unpaid leave

Abstract:
This thesis includes a series of case studies exploring the impact of providing informal (unpaid) care on the well-being, retirement decisions, and physical and mental health outcomes of carers. We use a representative sample of the UK population and informal carers from eighteen waves of the British Household Survey (BHPS). Analysis is undertaken from an economic and micro-econometrics perspective, using a variety of econometric techniques tailored to the specific questions and data in each study. The first chapter introduces the topics and provides descriptive statistics of the sample of carers in BHPS. In the second chapter, we study the impact of providing informal care on happiness and life satisfaction and calculate monetary values for informal care for each of these subjective well-being measures and by gender. We find monetary values of around £18 per extra hour of informal care provided per week for men and women in our preferred model, although values vary with the well-being measure, the measure of informal care, and the estimation method used. In chapter three we study whether the decision to retire before the State Pension Age is affected by the intensity of the informal care provided by men and women. We find that the probability of retirement is around twice as high for carers than for non-carers. Chapter 4 analyses the impact of providing informal care on caregiver ́s health, using a variety of health measures: GHQ, SF-6D, health conditions and self-assessed health. We find a small but negative effect of providing informal care on both the physical and mental health of informal carers. With these analyses, we aim to contribute to the literature by providing evidence on the impact of informal caring on carers to inform policy towards them and those they care for.

Abstract:
The HIV/AIDS epidemic has meant that an increasing number of chronically ill people need ongoing assistance with care and support. Programs providing home-based care (HBC) services are a key component of the response to HIV/AIDS. However, few programs are using operations research, including cost studies, to decide what services to provide and how to structure their services. In 2004, the Horizons Program undertook a study of six HBC programs from different South African provinces to provide key information to NGOs, government ministries, donors, and the programs themselves to inform decisions about service delivery. The study analyzed the cost of HBC services, the best use of resources, and how well programs are able to meet the needs of beneficiaries and their families. The sample represents programs that operate in rural areas and informal settlements. This brief focuses on the coverage, organization, volume, and costs of the services and on findings from two of the methods of data collection: financial records and service statistics, and interviews with financial officers, program managers, and caregivers.

Abstract:
The global pandemic has brought renewed attention toward the everyday challenges in informal settlements. COVID-19 reminds us that southern urban life is rooted in ‘collective’ experiences where toilets and kitchens are shared by multiple families; where the categories of work and home, private and public space overlap; and where the majority live in vulnerable conditions. Despite these challenges, some of the most innovative and collective responses to COVID-19 have emerged from these areas. While informal settlements did face a host of risks and vulnerabilities during the pandemic, local responses have highlighted the resilience of informal settlement communities. However, few informal settlements are actually ‘resilient’ and any local responses must be robustly supported by system-wide change including support from local and national governments, improvements to built infrastructure, and improved access to health care services, among other priorities. The category of ‘informal settlements’ also captures a wide range of settlement types, from a legal slum to an informal settlement with no legal status, with many other types in between. This underscores the need to address fundamental issues that ‘perpetuate conditions of inequity, exclusion and vulnerability’ while also recognising the needs and contexts of different kinds of informal settlements. Whether COVID-19 helps governments recognise conditions of insecurity and vulnerability to address safe and secure housing and infrastructures remains to be seen. This is an update to the previous SSHAP brief on ‘COVID-19 in Informal Urban Settlements’ (March 2020). This evidence review highlights local responses, grassroots efforts, and challenges around COVID-19 recovery within urban informal settlements in South Asia. It focuses on specific examples from Karachi, Pakistan and Mumbai, India to inform policy responses for COVID-19 recovery and future epidemic preparedness and response. We show how local level responses are shaped in these cities where national and international responses have not reached communities at municipal and sub-municipal levels.

Abstract:
People with low incomes often have poor access to health services and limited ability to pay for medical care. For such individuals and households, substantial out-of-pocket healthcare expenditure may have catastrophic financial consequences and worsen poverty. Health insurance schemes are intended to reduce the burden of health costs on individuals and households.

Abstract:
This report describes the diversity of experiences informal carers for people with life-limiting illnesses who were supported by hospices in the West Midlands during the pandemic. It is one of four cohort reports – the others focus on patients, frontline hospice staff, and senior managers respectively – that form the evidence base for a Policy Report into the impact of Covid-19 on hospices. In these reports we address the nine key themes that were identified as potentially important in our previous collaborative knowledge synthesis (MacArtney et al., 2021) and seek to address some of the policy gaps we identified in our review of recommendations for hospice practice and policy (Langen-Datta et al., 2022). Together these outputs are the result of an Economic and Social Research Council funded study (grant number: ES/W001837/1). This is one of the first studies to contribute an in-depth exploration of hospice-based experiences of the pandemic to the growing body of knowledge about the effectiveness and effects of changes to hospice services, at regional and national levels in response to Covid-19. The aim of this report is therefore to explore experiences of those informal carers of people with life-limiting conditions and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the care and support they experienced, to identify recommendations for clinical practice and healthcare policy. Drawing on these findings, this report offers recommendations for hospices and clinicians who continue to provide care and support for people with life limiting conditions and those that care them during the ongoing pandemic. These recommendations will also be of interest to local commissioners who will need to work with hospices in their region to ensure informal carers receive the support they need, and national policymakers who will need to ensure the necessary resources and guidance are available.

Full text
Abstract:
This article seeks to analyze the Colombian labor market during the COVID-19 crisis to explore its effect on labor market gender gaps. The country offers an interesting setting for analysis because, as most countries in the Global South, it has an employment market that combines formal and informal labor, which complicates the nature of the pandemic's aftermath. Our exploration offers an analysis that highlights the crisis's effects as in a downward staircase fall that mainly affects women compared to men. We document a phenomenon that we will call a "female staircase fall." Women lose status in the labor market; the formal female workers' transition to informal jobs, occupied women fall to unemployment, and the unemployed go to inactivity; therefore, more and more women are relegated to domestic work. We also study how women’s burden of unpaid care has increased due to the crisis, affecting their participation in paid employment.
