A recent CBS News article reveals a growing and urgent issue: millions of children and young people in the U.S. are stepping into unpaid caregiving roles often without recognition or support.

Thank you to CBS for leveraging data from Caregiving in the U.S. 2020 by the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP to shine a light on this critical reality.

Students like Joshua Yang are not just studying for finals, they’re managing medications, appointments, and insurance for loved ones. Without adequate policy protections and resources, more youth will be forced to shoulder these responsibilities alone.

Let’s act. We must protect Medicaid, identify and support young caregivers early, and ensure culturally relevant outreach and care.

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a budget resolution that kicks off consideration of a proposal to deeply cut Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) — critical programs that family caregivers across America depend on to support their loved ones. These cuts would harm countless families who rely on Medicaid for essential healthcare services and SNAP benefits to ensure proper nutrition for those in their care. Deep cuts to Medicaid and SNAP would devastate the families who rely on them. Family caregivers already do so much with so little — we must protect the programs that make caregiving possible.

"That this is an idea whose time has come, particularly for older people, is indisputable. In 2021, 3.64 million people aged over 65 were living alone in the UK, 70% of whom were women. In 10 years’ time, over-65s will have risen from 19% to an estimated 22% of the population, according to the latest report by the Centre for Ageing Better. More sobering still, the number of years we can expect to spend without a disabling illness continues to decline – it is now 62.4 years for men and 60.9 years for women."
