Abstract
⺠Most US adults caring for a family member with a chronic health condition are employed. ⺠Research has not explored how the work environment mediates the known effects of caregiving on health and well-being. ⺠We find that paid leave and having a supportive supervisor substantially offset the negative effects of caregiving. ⺠Work policies that support caregivers' health increase their ability to provide care and improve care recipients' outcomes.
