Today's caregivers are older, stressed about finances and challenged by juggling work and caregiving responsibilities. This data comes from a Workplace Wellness Survey report from the Employee Benefit Research Institute and Greenwald Research.

Caregivers are workers who provide unpaid care for an adult and/or a child with special needs and help with daily living. While this is clearly a valuable sector of the workforce, many caregivers feel they are not in a stable financial position. This demographic is more likely to be of Hispanic, Spanish or Latino descent, and are typically older than workers without caregiving responsibilities.

Those providing care are less likely to rate their own personal health as excellent and are more likely to give a lower rating of their household's financial wellbeing. Additionally, lower-income caregivers have a more difficult time accessing and participating in core employee benefits, are less likely to be satisfied with their employee benefits package, and are more likely to report lower self-rated physical, mental and financial wellbeing.
