"This paper analyses the impact of long-term care on informal caregivers' status in the labour market. It focuses on people's perceptions that their labour activity is hindered partially or totally by their care-giving commitments. It uses the Eurostat ECHP dataset 1994-2001, which includes some questions specifically aimed to investigate whether people suffer care-giving constraints; this information allows us to overcome the endogeneity problem due to the double relationship between labour market participation and care-giving."
