This story cites research by Matthew Andersson, Ph.D., assistant professor of sociology in Baylor’s College of Arts & Sciences, about the challenges of the growing number of informal (unpaid) caregivers who care for an elderly family member, often in addition to their regular jobs. Many of those informal caregivers experience significant work disruptions — such as needing to move from full-time to part-time status or take a leave of absence to give care. They often don’t receive support from their employers, either because it is not offered or because they are hesitant to use it.
