New federal data provides insight into who provides unpaid care for our elderly and young children, including the so-called "sandwich generation," who juggle the demands of both family and career.
As Anne Gaviola explains, this data sheds light on the hidden toll of free labour that keeps our economy running and households afloat.

So you want to be paid for looking after your family? Her kids are teenagers. I'm sure they are not useless.

@Rocksteady246 25 дней назад

There is literally a program for that...

@aavvcc 25 дней назад

True, her teens need to step up if they haven’t yet, but she is still working to support them as they are dependents.

Unpaid time. You mean being a family? What are you whining about?

@JSRTales 25 дней назад

exactly its a family package

@Kris-sf2qf 25 дней назад

Exactly .We are supposed to look after each other .Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t think that way.

@rupertperiwinkle4477 24 дня назад

They're also talking about how how burdensome caretaking is and how it negatively impacts your mental and physical health. It's not worth it.

@georgesimon6041 25 дней назад

Poor me, poor me. Don't want to look after kids don't have them. Your parents are your problem, self entitlement to the extreme.

@rupertperiwinkle4477 24 дня назад

Dont have kids. Don't have to caretake old parents either. It's actually not required by law to caretake them. Loads of people stick their parents into nursing homes.

@rupertperiwinkle4477 24 дня назад

Don't have kids. Simple. There needs to be more nursing homes for elderly care. Care taking an old person is too demanding and takes a toll on your mental an dphysical health. It's a burden and not worth it.

Why don't my high taxes go towards healthcare, child care and retirement care?!? They do..., for Israel.

@swedishhousemfia 25 дней назад

so... working and taking care of your family is benign nowadays. You can do both. You expect to be paid to take care of your family? Many cultures have multi generational homes where they take care of one another.

@HaloFlemz86 24 дня назад

This is the reason I didn't have kids, I have 2 boomers to start looking after in the the next 5 years. I hope the cares keep there chins up. It's hard and it's draining but you are the best at it.

There is a caregiver allowance; apply for it...

This is hilarious. Middle-aged people have always taken care of the young and the elderly.

I honestly don’t think I could last very long taking care of multiple children, parents, in-laws, grandparents…people who do and live to tell about it are a special breed.

@Stardusted1 25 дней назад

We all know what we’ve gotta do, but male siblings who do nothing to help are the real reason it’s so hard. Selfish people will stand by and watch while they take care of themselves only. Really, they know what’s going on big time, and they couldn’t care less. That’s what we need to fix and never will. The story is as old as Adam and Eve.

@@Kris-sf2qf You are the one calling people who choose not to caretake elders "snowflakes". Caretaking is a *choice* . People can CHOOSE to caretake or not. Many have good reasons not to be caretakers. This is not one size fits all. Also, grow up Karen.
