""The US Department of Health and Human Services estimates that 75% to 80% of US eldercare hours are performed by informal caregivers, an army of loved ones deputized into unpaid care roles by sheer necessity.""
""Women account for nearly 70% of caregivers providing constant, round-the-clock care.""

Millennial daughters are disproportionately affected by the financial and career impacts of caring for aging parents, with costs reaching nearly $300,000. Many women are forced to pass up job opportunities or reduce work hours to provide care. Statistics reveal that over 60% of Americans believe daughters are expected to be primary caregivers. Women make up the majority of informal caregivers, with nearly 70% providing constant care. This situation leads to lost wages, missed promotions, and diminished retirement contributions for these caregivers.
