Caregivers and Strain
Captions available
The idea
The number of caregivers matters: two-caregiver homes tend to face less stress than single-parent homes, through lower financial and time strain.
In practice
A single parent juggling one income and every bedtime alone, helped by nearby grandparents.
Where people slip
In dual-earner homes mothers often carry more of the housework and childcare, a source of role strain; balanced sharing predicts better well-being.
