Note: Men are above the dotted line and women are below the dotted line. * For time-dependence burden, adultcare is marginally higher (p = .053). ** For social burden, the differences are marginal (p = .055). *** For turnover intent, the difference is marginal for childcare. Standard deviations are presented in parentheses. Subscripts indicate that the value is significantly different from the indicated subscript value. Subscript 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are childcare 0–2 years, childcare 3–5 years, childcare 6–12 years, childcare 13–17 years, adultcare, eldercare, and mixed-care, respectively.
