What the paper says

This study provides the first application of the PALY framework to informal caregivers of MSCs in Australia and globally. Informal caregiving for MSCs imposes a substantial and under recognized economic burden. Applying the PALY framework provides compelling evidence for incorporating caregiver productivity into economic evaluations and policy decisions aimed at supporting the informal care workforce. Findings highlight the need for targeted workplace and policy measures, particularly to address the disproportionate impact on women.
