Here is a figure how much care and domestic work is transferred to others by all age groups (including young children): younger girls in high-fertility countries contribute more and at earlier ages journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

📊 Key findings II — Decomposition:
- Prior studies overestimated compositional share of GPGs
- My results:
→ GPG driven by gender-exclusive life-course experiences
→ Main reason = lack of male counterparts for low rewarded unpaid care work
→ Earlier & longer care spells = highest pension penalty
