Caught in the Triangle: The Influence of Home, Work and Elder Location on Work-Family Balance.

Joseph, Alun E.; Hallman, Bonnie C.

Canadian Journal on Aging, v15 n3 p393-412 Fall 1996

Data from a sample of 595 Canadians who care for elderly relatives suggest that the spatial arrangement of home, workplace, and the relative have an impact on stress. Travel time to work and to the elder impinge on work and family responsibilities. Most respondents sought to modify the home-elder axis rather than the home-work axis. (SK)
