20.500.12556/RUL-138617 Life course pathways into intergenerational caregiving Objectives - We develop a framework for the analysis of pathways into intergenerational caregiving to older people provided by family members using life course concepts of key turning events in life, cumulative processes and linked lives within the family realm. Methods - Using Framework Analysis, we analyse semi-structured qualitative interviews from a sample of dyads (older cared-for adults and their main family carers comprised of children, children-in-law and grandchildren) in Austria (N=24) and Slovenia (N=52). Data was collected in 2019 through purposive sampling, including dyads from a differentiated socio-economic background and gender. Results - The analysis reveals four non-exclusive pathways into caregiving. One pathway is associated with single turning events occurring in family or work trajectories of carers that expanded the possibilities for caregiving later in life. A second pathway referred to cumulative processes that later influenced transitions into caregiving, such as personal biographies marked by weak labour market attachment. Another cumulative pathway, exclusive to caregiving, is characterized by continued and sustained exchanges of support within families that cement reciprocal ties that underpin caregiving at later stages. In the fourth pathway, life trajectories of siblings, but also family relationships and conflicts constrained carers into their role. Discussion - Decisions regarding caregiving within families can be best understood as processes, linked to developments in other trajectories in carers’ lives, as much as to internal family dynamics and relationships. Becoming a carer may be itself the result of intertwined accumulated vulnerabilities, as well as cumulative exchanges within families. true false true Angleški jezik Angleški jezik Avstrija; Slovenija; Članek v reviji 2022-08-03 09:25:48 2022-08-03 09:25:55 2022-09-15 04:16:59 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 1305-1314 no. 7 Vol. 77 Jul. 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2022-02-05 364 1758-5368 10.1093/geronb/gbac024 97104643 Filipovic_Hlebec_Hurtado_JG_B.pdf Filipovic_Hlebec_Hurtado_JG_B.pdf 1 6EEAFB6183631EF415CADBAAC72EA0DF efba69f023a16abb099d44c731ab62db745af557ece56722712f9c95a8d256fd 7d2d2265-12fd-11ed-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=158990 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
