Abstract

The article highlights the growing and unsustainable burden on family caregivers in the United States, who provide the majority of long-term care often without pay or formal training, while juggling jobs and health risks. Topics include demographic shifts increasing care demands, financial and workplace strains on caregivers; and state-level Medicaid innovations alongside workplace support initiatives.
