Rising life expectancy has led to the growth of the 'Sandwich
Generation' - men and women who are caregivers to their children of
varying ages as well as for one or both parents whilst still
managing their own household and work responsibilities. This book
considers both the strains and benefits of this position. Tackling
a myriad of issues such as gender, parents and parents-in-law,
ethnic differences, residential status, and developing changes in
the caregiving relationship such as Alzheimer's or dementia, this
book highlights the complexities of the caregiving relationship.
Key chapters also address potential benefits including improved
relationships, skill set development and generously giving to
another. Expert contributors use examples to illustrate the need
for organizations to address increases in caregiving among their
employees and develop supportive policies and initiatives. They
further show that there is a need at the country level to integrate
employees, communities, employers, businesses and levels of
government to deal with this increasing trend. This timely book
will prove an indispensible reference for academics and students
interested in the sandwich generation, caregiving and health. Its
practical approach will also benefit human resource management
professionals, managers dealing with sandwiched employees and
health administrators at various levels of government. Contributors
