Retirement and informal care provision: Evidence from Australia

A recent study conducted by researchers at Flinders University sheds light on the complex interplay between retirement decisions and informal caregiving among older Australians. As the Australian Age Pension eligibility age increases, a growing number of seniors are opting to remain in the workforce. Interestingly, this shift remains the same commitment to providing informal care within their homes or in the community, challenging prevailing assumptions about the interdependence of work and caregiving roles in later life.
