Research Debate on ‘Older Carers and Work’ in Sub-Saharan Africa? Current Gaps and Future Frames

AbstractScientific debate on the interface of work and caregiving responsibilities among older adults is intensifying, yet it has had little resonance in African aging discourses thus far. In this commentary we explore the nature and possible reasons for the gap, and highlight a possible frame, and potential avenues for redressing it as part of an emergent research and policy endeavor on long-term care for older persons.
