Informal Caregiving Provision for Disabled or Elderly in the Families and Work Productivity: Evidence from 11 Waves of an Australian Population-Based Cohort.

Our study reveals that working-age caregivers experience greater absenteeism, presenteeism and working hour tension. Adverse effects of informal caregiving are required to perform the cost effectiveness of an intervention given to caregivers to improve carer and patient health. Our findings will assist health technology assessment (HTA) practitioners in performing an economic evaluation of interventions given to caregivers by providing the indirect cost (productivity loss) of caregiving.
