"Isn't he wonderful?" exploring the contribution and conceptualization of older husbands as carers
Article Abstract:
The unique nature of caring by older husbands (60 years or above), a group hitherto marginal to the research and policy agenda which reviews evidence from sociological discourse and from social research to explore the contribution and conceptualization of caring is presented. It concludes that pre-existing gender relations continue to be powerful determinants of the experience of caring, and that marital power is retained by men in late-life marriage.
