Eldercare is Everywhere: What Caregiving Employees Need from their Employers & How to Help

Описание: Eldercare is everywhere. More than 11,200 Baby Boomers are turning 65 every day, and by 2035 there will be more older adults than children under 18 for the first time in U.S. history. In fact, the fastest growing age cohort is 80 and older, those most likely to have chronic conditions and need caregiving. Due to this massive demographic shift, more than 50 million Americans are caring for aging loved ones, and the majority (61%) are working, most full-time.

With an estimated 1 in 5 employees today caring for an older adult, employers must recognize eldercare & the impact it's having on workers. As one Fortune.com article recently noted, the "caregiving cliff is imperiling the careers and well-being of U.S. employees as boomers age- with big implications for employers."
