According to the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP, “older caregivers are more likely to say they have been providing care for 10 years or more compared to younger caregivers (17% of caregivers 50-64 years and 18% of caregivers 65+ v to 9% of caregivers 18-34 years). These older caregivers tend to be caring for parents and spouses.” (p.33)

“The purpose of this study-a joint project of the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP and funded by MetLife Foundation-is to update and expand knowledge about the activities caregivers say they perform, the perceived impact of caregiving on their daily lives, and the unmet needs of this population. Its findings are based on a national telephone survey of 1,247 caregivers age 18 or older, including approximately 200 African-American, 200 Hispanic, and 200 Asian-American caregivers. Interviewing was conducted from September 5 through December 22, 2003.”
