Latent classes representing ‘caring trajectories’ in Australian women born 1973–78 across the years 1996–2009. Latent class analyses used data from 14,402 women who provided data on caring at least once between surveys 1 and 5. The five latent class solution had the highest entropy (0.85) and a P-value of 0.17 for the Lo-Mendel-Rubin statistic indicating these were distinct groups.
