      abstract     = {In aging Germany, a large part of care is provided by
                      informal caregivers. We aimed to analyze the main drivers of
                      the mental health of caregivers and their intersection with
                      migration status.Using panel data covering 18 years (n =
                      25,659 individuals, aged 16 to 103 years; mean age of 49.5
                      years) and applying linear regression models we investigated
                      the association between informal caregiving and mental
                      health. We compared non-migrant Germans (NMG) and ethnic
                      German immigrants (EGI), who are the oldest immigrant group
                      in Germany. Informal caregiving was defined as living with a
                      person in need of care or by providing care for ≥2 h per
                      day; the main health outcomes were mental health and mental
                      health changes, measured by a metric scale of six items.Even
                      accounting for selection into caregiving, short-term care
                      seemed to be disadvantageous only for NMG, while long-term
                      care was generally associated with poorer mental health,
                      with a particular disadvantage for EGI. Socio-economic
                      characteristics and personality traits affected mental
                      health changes, but only weakly the caregiving-health
                      association.Informal caregiving presents a health burden
                      which is not explained by socio-economic characteristics and
                      personality, but by migration status. Policies to promote
                      health in an aging society need to consider differences in
                      short- and long-term care provision and between migrants and
                      the non-migrants.},
