Few employees currently have eldercare responsibilities, with no gender difference observed. This finding, driven by a young workforce, suggests a future need for eldercare support policies.

Area of Science:

  • Workplace studies
  • Gerontology
  • Human resources

Background:

  • Employee well-being is increasingly linked to work-life balance.
  • Demographic shifts and aging populations necessitate examination of eldercare support in the workplace.
  • Understanding current eldercare responsibilities among employees is crucial for future policy development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence of eldercare responsibilities among employees in a large organization.
  • To identify demographic factors, such as gender and age, associated with eldercare responsibilities.
  • To assess the current and potential future impact of eldercare on the workforce.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey was administered to 1608 employees of a single organization.

  • Data were collected on employee demographics and the presence of eldercare responsibilities.
  • Statistical analysis was used to determine the prevalence and associated factors.

    • Main Results:

    • Only 5.6% (90 employees) reported current eldercare responsibilities.
    • No significant difference was found in the likelihood of having eldercare responsibilities between men and women.
    • The low prevalence is attributed to the relatively young age of the employee sample.

    Conclusions:

    • Eldercare responsibilities are not a widespread issue for this organization's current workforce.
    • The aging of employees and their parents indicates a growing need for eldercare policies and programs.
    • Proactive planning for future eldercare support is recommended for the organization.
