Abstract:
As the US population ages, more and more workers bear responsibilities for caring for family members with a serious illness or disability. These family caregiving responsibilities can have a substantial economic impact on workers, and pose a challenge for policy makers and employers to find ways to make the workplace more "caregiver-friendly." Providing workers with access to paid family leave and paid sick days can lessen the strain of caregiving, provide family caregivers with greater financial security, increase employee retention, and help maintain a productive workforce.
