March Women’s History Month
Ladies: Let’s Have a Heart to Heart Talk


 

 


Women are the majority of informal care providers in this country. Since 2000, the number of working women age 55 and older increased by 52% - from 6.4 million to 10.1 million. More women are now ‘juggling’ work and caregiving to spouses, parents, parents-in-law, friends and neighbors, and they play many roles while caregiving—hands-on health provider, care manager, friend, companion, surrogate decision-maker and advocate.

As workforce participation by women increases, caregiving now poses an even greater financial challenge for many women workers, due mostly to lost wages from reduced work hours, time out of the workforce, family leave or early retirement.

This time out of the workforce for caregiving may compound the impact of earlier leave taken to care for a child. Further, caregiving is expensive in and of itself. Whether it’s paying for prescription medications, installing a ramp for a wheelchair-bound care recipient, or purchasing consumable supplies, caregiving has a significant economic impact on a family- especially upon the woman.

The toll that caregiving takes is not just financial. Higher levels of depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges are common among women who care for an older relative or friend.
