Age 25–64. Unstandardized (β) regression coefficients. Men (n = 5,392). All dependent variables range from 1–5, except happiness and depression (1–4)

* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01

Reference categories are ^aNot in paid work, part-time work

^bNon-caregiver. Control for age, education, partner, children, and health. Presented main effects of caregiver status and employment status are calculated before including interaction terms in the model

^cVariance explained by employment, caregiving, and interaction terms beyond the effect of controls
