According to analysis of the National Study of the Changing Workforce, older adult workers are much more likely than younger workers to report that they have provided some type of care to a relative 65 years or older at some point during the past year; 43% of adults over age 50 reported involvement in elder caregiving, compared to 35% of adults aged 31-49.

The National Study of the Changing Workforce (NSCW) is conducted every five years. It surveys large samples of the U.S. workforce to collect information about both the work and personal lives of U.S. workers. The NSCW builds upon and expands the scope of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Quality of Employment Survey, which was discontinued following 1977 data collection. Data from the NSCW surveys (1992, 1997, 2002) are available (www. familiesandwork.org) for use by other researchers and have been extensively analyzed with many findings presented and published. Numerous reports presenting findings from different analyses of the NSCW can be found on the website of the Families and Work Institute.
