Track 2 - THE RISING GENERATION - The Sandwich Generation and Eldercare Issues

With the aging of the Boomer generation comes the challenge of eldercare and its ultimate impact on families and designated caregivers. Often those caregivers are a part of the Sandwich Generation—a generation of people, typically in their 30s to 50s, responsible for both bringing up their own children and caring for their aging parents. Margalit Tocher and Andrea Hasten trace the challenges and obstacles of the aging generation and provide strategies and guidance for caregiver families.
