 The Sandwich Generation:

Easing the Squeeze

Are you between the ages of 40 and 60, working full or part-time, and feeling pulled between your aging parents and your children? If you answered yes, you are not alone! You are part of a category dubbed the “Sandwich Generation”, referring to the feeling of pressure from the generations above and below you. Add caring for grandchildren into the mix and you become the “Club-Sandwich Generation”.

Multigenerational caregivers often have high levels of stress, great financial hardships, and may also suffer from depression.

70 % of the “Sandwich Generation” experiencing work-related difficulties may switch to less demanding jobs, reduce their hours, or quit altogether. They often suffer from loss of wages and social security benefits upwards of $300.000. Women are affected by this kind of caregiving the most.
