The Growing Contributions and Costs of Family Caregivers

This report, Valuing the Invaluable: The Growing Contributions and Costs of

Family Caregivers, updates national and individual state estimates of the

economic value of family caregiving using the most current available data. In

2009, about 42.1 million family caregivers in the U.S. provided care to an adult

with limitations in daily activities at any given point in time, and about 61.6

million provided care at some time during the year. The estimated economic value

of their unpaid contributions was approximately $450 billion in 2009, up from an

estimated $375 billion in 2007. The report details the contributions of family

caregivers and the costs and consequences of providing family care, and provides

recommendations for policies that better support caregivers.
