The staggering, exhausting, invisible costs of caring for America’s elderly
As millions “age in place,” millions more must figure out how to provide their loved ones with increasingly complex care.
According to the most recent data from the AARP, an estimated
41.8 million people, or 16.8 percent of the population, currently provides care for an adult over 50. That’s up from 34.2 million (14.3 percent) in 2015.
Of those caregivers,
28 percent have stopped saving,
23 percent have taken on more debt,
22 percent have used up their personal short-term savings, and
11 percent reported being unable to cover basic needs, including food.
The average age of someone providing care for an adult is 49, but 23
percent are millennials
and 6
percent are Gen Z.
Sixty-one percent are women, and
40 percent provide that care within their own homes, up from 34 percent in 2015.
