Caregiving is a vital yet often overlooked aspect of family life and public health in the United States. Approximately 53 million people provide unpaid care to individuals with chronic health conditions, disabilities, or age-related needs. As much as 67% of working caregivers struggle to balance career and caregiving, and 27% reduce their work hours or transition to part-time roles to manage their dual commitments.
