Working while caregiving: It's complicated

S&P Global / AARP. "Working while caregiving: It's complicated." 2024.

Key findings used in wiki

  • In this survey of employee caregivers at large U.S. companies, most respondents reported substantial difficulty balancing work and caregiving, with caregiving having a moderate or high impact on stress.
  • The report found that many caregivers changed work schedules, took leave, reduced hours, turned down promotions, or changed employers because of caregiving responsibilities.
  • It argues that flexibility — including schedule flexibility, hybrid work, and paid time off for caregiving — is one of the most important workplace supports.
  • It also notes that caregivers of adults often feel less supported than caregivers of children, which helps explain why adult-caregiving pressures can stay under-recognized at work.
  • The report is most useful in the wiki as employer / workplace evidence for why working caregivers need explicit flexibility, not vague goodwill.
