Handout MGS May 15 Valuing the Invaluable
Since 2006, AARP has published Valuing the Invaluable, a series of periodic reports highlighting the economic value and individual impact of caregiving on older adults and families. Subtitles for past reports include: The Economic Value of Family Caregiving (2006, 2008), The Growing Contribution Costs of Family Caregiving (2011), Undeniable Progress, but Big Gaps Remain (2015) and Charting a Path Forward (2019).
The 2023 report, released in March, and titled Strengthening Supports for Family Caregivers, takes a detailed look at recent developments and promising federal and state policies that support family caregivers. A focus on promising practices in MN’s public and private sectors is included, along with specific recommendations for moving forward.
