CARE Fund and JAHF Webinar Recording: Care and Work - Improving the Livelihoods of Family Caregivers and Care Workers
The Care for All with Respect and Equity (CARE) Fund and JAHF hosting a webinar on "Care and Work: Improving the Livelihoods of Family Caregivers and Care Workers." The recording is now available.
The vast majority of family caregivers have jobs outside the home. Public and corporate policies need to be reshaped so working parents of young kids and family members caring for older and disabled loved ones can live dignified lives with economic security. Meanwhile, professional caregivers struggle to make ends meet with low wages and meager benefits.
Drawing on the data from the Caregiving in the US 2025 report, the panelists addressed the support needed by family caregivers in the workforce as well as the need to improve the quality of paid caregiver jobs.
