State Caregiving Emergency Index

Columbia University. "State Caregiving Emergency Index." 2025.

Key findings used in wiki

  • The report is useful for framing caregiver strain as a structural and infrastructure problem, not only a private household burden.
  • Its emergency-index lens supports the wiki's argument that caregiving pressure reflects a mismatch between caregiver demand and available support systems.
  • The report is especially useful for employer, state-policy, and long-term-support-system context rather than for day-to-day product design details.
  • Because it is a Columbia-led, Otsuka-sponsored report using a proxy-goods valuation approach, it is best used as a secondary structural-context source, not as GiveCare's only baseline authority.
  • In practice, the wiki uses it alongside stronger baseline sources like AARP/NAC and ACL materials rather than on its own.
