“One in five adults in the U.S. — about 53 million people — are caregivers who provide support for a relative or friend with an illness or disability. Many do so without financial compensation. The National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP published a lengthy report on unpaid family caregivers in the U.S. — Caregiving in the U.S.: 2020 Report — based on data collected in 2019. Family caregivers are defined as people who have assisted children with special needs or adults at some point in the last 12 months.”
