Sandwich Generation Caregivers Face Many Challenges

Individuals in the "sandwich generation" have the dual responsibility of providing care for an adult — often a parent — while also raising children. Caring for others can be very rewarding, but the day-to-day demands of supporting multiple generations can take a financial, emotional, and physical toll on sandwiched caregivers.

Sandwich Generation Profile: 67% employed. 61% women. 33% report stress. 20% face financial strain. 20% have worsening health
