Increasing corporate interest in the intersection of work and family life has been evidenced by the development of employer-sponsored policies, benefits, and programs. However, research to date does not provide a valid basis for estimating the prevalence of caregiving in the work population nor for accurately identifying types and prevalence of work consequences that should be of concern to employers. This article reviews the research to date on work and eldercare, providing an overview of findings and methodology. Strategies for the conduct of future research are presented, including a discussion of field procedures particularly relevant to corporate-based research.
