Report No. GAO-20-623
Summary:

Family caregivers play a critical role in supporting the elderly population, which is growing rapidly. However, those who provide eldercare may risk their own employment, income, and retirement security.

We looked at other countries' approaches to supporting family members who provide eldercare, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' efforts to develop a U.S. family caregiving strategy. The 3 nations we examined sought to help caregivers stay attached to the workforce, supplement lost income, and save for retirement.
