Family care, with a particular focus on cross-national comparisons
Life course research especially with respect to the impact of family histories on later life health and wellbeing from a comparative perspective
The impact of lifelong disorders and disabilities on the health of affected individuals and their families.
Since 2010, Karen has worked on a project investigating Grandparenting in Europe. Funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and in partnership with the Beth Johnson Foundation and the Institute of Gerontology, the study examined variations in grandparental care across 12 European countries. The research showed a direct relationship between grandparents caring and the availability of formal childcare and support for parents.
This work led to an ESRC-funded research project, entitled ‘Grandparents Caring for Grandchildren: Impacts on Health’, also in collaboration with charities Grandparents Plus, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the Beth Johnson Foundation. This research found that on average grandparents who look after grandchildren for up to 15 hours a week tend to be in better health than those who provide no care.
Karen is currently leading a three-year cross-research council consortium across five institutions on ‘The impact of extending paid work in later life on health and wellbeing’. The research examines how inequalities across the life course relate to paid work in later life in the UK. This issue is of growing importance as the policy reforms around the State Pension Age affect millions of people, yet their implications for health are unknown.
