Abstract

En este trabajo se analiza la participación laboral de los cuidadores de personas mayores utilizando la Encuesta de Apoyo Informal (2004). Se estima un modelo probit ordenado para la incidencia de problemas laborales considerando la existencia de sesgo de selección por el hecho de estar ocupado antes de ser cuidador, y que las horas de cuidado informal y las necesidades no satisfechas de atención formal son variables endógenas. Los hombres y los más jóvenes son menos propensos a sufrir problemas laborales, mientras que las mujeres, los cuidadores de mayor antigüedad, los cuidadores de grandes dependientes o residentes en municipios pequeños manifiestan mayor probabilidad de dejar su ocupación. No obstante, la aparición de problemas es independiente del número de años de cuidado a partir de una carga de 3 a 5 horas diarias, en parte debido a que el cuidador trata de suplir las carencias de atención formal sacrificando su vida laboral.
