This book explores how the gender of the caregiver impacts upon family caregiving of the elderly.
Focusing on the phenomenon that women are much more likely to be caregivers than men, the contributors provide vital information about differences between male and female caregivers and recipients. They also explore key family relationships and relate the implications of gender differences to future work on the theory, research, policy and practice of caregiving.
