Owing to the rapid ageing of societies, studying the labour market consequences of caring for ill, disabled or frail old-age partners, parents and/or other family members (hereafter: ‘family care’) is of urgent concern. Previous research has mainly concentrated on examining the impact of differing family care situations on women’s employment. Building on household decision-making approaches, this study focuses on the moderating role of the household economic situation in the family care–employment relationship among women. Cox shared frailty regression analyses of German Socio-Economic Panel data (SOEP, 2004–2017) indicate that the family care–employment relationship depends not simply on time committed to care but is also stratified by household economic situations: full-time employed, low-intensity caregivers down-scale to part-time hours only in more affluent households; full-time to non-employment transitions are more likely for married, high-intensity caregivers; part-time to non-employment transitions are more likely for high-intensity caregivers contributing marginally to the household income.

德国女性家庭护理与有偿工作之间的关联：家庭经济环境重要吗？

由于社会的快速老龄化，研究照顾生病、残疾或体弱的老年伴侣、父母和/或其他家庭成员（以下简称“家庭照顾”）对劳动力市场的影响是紧迫的问题。以往的研究主要集中在考察不同的家庭照料情况对女性就业的影响。在家庭决策方法的基础上，本研究重点关注家庭经济状况在女性家庭护理-就业关系中的调节作用。Cox 对德国社会经济小组数据 (SOEP, 2004-2017) 的共享脆弱回归分析表明，家庭护理-就业关系不仅取决于致力于护理的时间，还取决于家庭经济状况：全职就业、仅在较富裕的家庭中，低强度的护理人员会缩减为兼职时间；已婚的高强度照料者更有可能从全职过渡到非就业；对家庭收入贡献微乎其微的高强度护理人员更有可能从兼职向非就业过渡。
