Even in households where the elderly family member is very old or seriously disabled, large proportions of women continue to hold down full- or part-time jobs. These finding should be reassuring to Japanese policymakers who are concerned that middle-aged women remain in the labor force while continuing to care for elderly family members at home.4 pagesen-USAging parents - Care - JapanMiddle-aged women - Employment - JapanAdult children living with parents - JapanText
