Aging in Today’s Workforce

In 2020, the US had 56 million people over the age of 65. That number is expected to grow to 70 million by 2030. Similarly, in 2015, California had 7 million people over the age of 65 and that number is expected to grow to 12 million by 2030.

This growth requires more senior services, facilities and qualified health care providers, as well as new solutions to fighting disease, isolation, and poverty among seniors who deserve the right to age with dignity.

Our caregivers are fast becoming an underserved community as well.

Here are some important facts:

• More than 1 in 6 Americans working full-time or part-time report assisting with the care of an elderly or disabled family member, relative or friend*.

• Caregivers working at least 15 hours per week indicated that this assistance significantly affected their work life*.

• 22% of caregiving workers are middle-aged and 13% are between 18 and 29*.

• 70% of working caregivers suffer work-related difficulties due to their dual roles**

• 61% of caregivers experience at least one change in their employment due to caregiving (i.e., cutting back hours, taking a leave, receiving a performance warning)**

• Caregiving has shown to reduce employee work productivity by 18.5% and increase the likelihood of employees leaving the workplace.***

We are committed to helping employers find new ways to support this important community in their workforce.
