People who care for elderly relatives outside of their full-time jobs — and are unpaid for their help — experience considerable disruption of workplace routines, and many are not getting employer support because it is not offered or because they do not feel they should use it, according to a study led by Matthew A. Andersson, Ph.D., assistant professor of sociology in Baylor’s College of Arts & Sciences. About one in four employed U.S. adults provides informal care for a family member older than 65. The article was published in the Journal of Aging and Health.

This article cites a 2016 paper in Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, in which Jeremy E. Uecker, Ph.D., assistant professor of sociology in Baylor’s College of Arts & Sciences, found that people who stop attending church after high school are most likely to return as married parents, childless couples or single parents. However, young adults get married later in life, which partly accounts for the delay in coming back to church.

People who care for their parents outside of their full-time jobs — and are unpaid for their help — experience considerable disruption of their workplace routines. Many are not getting employer support because it is not offered or because they do not feel able to use it, even if it is available, according to a Baylor University researcher. “A big and overwhelming consequence of America’s aging population is that so-called sandwiched caregivers, typically middle-aged, are caring for ailing parents while trying to work full-time and raise their own children,” said Matthew A. Andersson, Ph.D., assistant professor of sociology in Baylor University’s College of Arts & Sciences.

This column about revitalizing and strengthening rural communities and the importance of public-private efforts to do so cites studies by Baylor sociology professors Charles M. Tolbert, Ph.D., and F. Carson Mencken, Ph.D. They have found that, "a thriving small business sector leads to stronger communities with higher levels of income, less income inequality, less poverty, better public health, lower crime and less out-migration of residents to other areas."
