It has been suggested that middle-aged adults are becoming burdened with the responsibilities of caring for both parents and children as a result of changing social and demographic trends. Consequently, there is concern that this burden of multiple family responsibilities may adversely affect caregivers' well-being. Using a national sample of married persons, this study examines how the assumption of multigenerational caregiving responsibilities affects caregivers' well-being. It is found that this change in family responsibilities has little to no effect on caregivers' well-being, even after considering factors including caregivers' gender and weekly hours of labor force employment.
