from Market Watch:
A study released today from UnitedHealth Group's
Evercare(R) organization and the National
Alliance for Caregiving (NAC) finds that more than one third of Hispanic
households (36 percent) have at least one family member caring for an
older loved one --a larger percentage than all
U.S. caregiving households which is 21 percent (one in five), according
to the Evercare Study of Hispanic Caregiving in the U.S. The
study, the largest comprehensive look at Hispanic caregivers, also
revealed that caregiving caused a major change to the working situation
of Hispanics, which could have dramatic personal implications as the
current fiscal crisis continues to unfold in the United States.
Additionally, the emotional and physical tolls of caregiving might also
impact the local and national economies, given that more than eight
million Hispanics provide care to older loved ones nationwide.
