  • Snapshot of California's
    Snapshot of California’s SANDWICH GENERATION CAREGIVERS The Impact of Caring for Children and Elderly Parents on Health, Finances and Employment Prepared by the University of California, Berkeley’s Division of Health Policy and Management • November 2014 April Falconi, MPH, MA, Health Services & Policy Analysis William H. Dow, Ph.D., Henry J. Kaiser Professor of Health Economics OVERVIEW With couples having children later in life and California’s aging population growing, the demand for sandwich generation caregivers—those caring for their children and elderly parents at the same time—is expected to grow rapidly in the coming decades. Sandwich generation caregivers face significant time and financial pressures, particularly for the majority of those who also strive to balance a full-time or part- time job. Although caregiving provides personal gratification to many caregivers, it comes at a well-documented cost to caregivers and their employers. Most sandwich generation caregivers are not paid for the time they spend providing care, yet they spend thousands of dollars each year on caregiving. These costs come in addition to the losses in wages and benefits they face if they need to cut back on the number of hours they work or if they need to leave their jobs altogether. Providing care for an elderly family member while concurrently managing their responsibilities as parents places sandwich generation caregivers at greater risk for poor health. Sandwich generation caregivers in California report poorer mental, physical and emotional health than non-caregivers or those who care only for children, which often impacts their personal relationships and their work.

    PARENTAL CAREGIVING AMONG THE SANDWICH GENERATION IN BANGKOK METROPOLITAN AREA Orathai Vejbhumi A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Population and Development) School of Applied Statistics National Institute of Development Administration 2009 ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation Parental Caregiving among the Sandwich Generation in Bangkok Metropolitan Area Author Miss Orathai Vejbhumi Degree Doctor of Philosophy (Population and Development) Year 2009 The objectives of this study are; first, to describe parent caregiving of the sandwich generation; second, to study intergenerational support between the sandwich generation and their parents and third, to analyze factors influencing the sandwich generation’s parent care behavior. Data was collected from sample representing the target population through face-to-face interview. The unit of analysis was individuals, both male and female, aged between 35-55 years old, who are categorized as having sandwich generation characteristics. The samples were selected by multi-stage stratified random sampling method. Descriptive statistics and the hierarchical multiple regression analysis were used to analyze parent caregiving of the sandwich generation. It was found that females provide more of physical care to their parents than males do but for emotional care, males sandwich generation give more this care to their parents than their female counterparts. Nearly half of the sandwich generation in both groups give 1-5% of their income to their parents. Whether or not the sandwich generation has siblings, if they live with their parents, they are the primary caregivers. The caregiving and support between the sandwich generation and their parents is rather reciprocal than unidirectional.

Malaysia is a country where ageing care centres are actively running under the government, NGOs, the public sector, and recently a few of the religious centres and entrepreneurs are working in this regard. The facilities in ageing care centres are not up to the mark due to which sandwich generation families are still providing support to their elderly parents in Malaysia. Hence, this paper aims to highlight the concept of sandwich generation focuses on the new inclinations in a familial responsibility in the form of support and cares for elderly parents along with children.
