Company joins National Alliance for Caregiving in spotlighting the realities facing America's 63 million family caregivers.
Highlights
New York Life is proud to sponsor “Caregiving in the U.S. 2025,” the most comprehensive study on the state of family caregiving in America. Developed by the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP, the report reveals that nearly 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. are providing ongoing care for a loved one, often with little support, training or compensation.
Research reveals caregiving realities
The comprehensive study highlights significant challenges facing American families, with findings that demonstrate how caregivers experience financial strain, emotional stress, and health impacts. Nearly half (47%) of caregivers report at least one negative financial consequence from their caregiving responsibilities, illustrating the economic burden these essential roles place on families nationwide.
The report also reveals growing awareness of the need for comprehensive long-term care planning and workplace benefits that acknowledge and support caregiving responsibilities. These findings align with evolving recognition that supporting employees and families with caregiving duties is essential for overall wellbeing.
Our sponsorship reflects New York Life's enterprise-wide commitment to better support family caregivers across the care continuum and champion improved financial wellbeing and security for families navigating long-term care events. We continue to develop products, services, and resources designed to help families plan for and manage the financial and emotional challenges associated with caregiving.
What our leaders are saying
"Caregiving is now a defining life stage for millions of Americans. As people live longer and face increasing caregiving, financial, and workplace challenges, the need for holistic, value-driven planning and protection has never been greater. New York Life’s sponsorship of this meaningful study demonstrates our commitment to meet the needs of our customers and their families, through innovation, community investment, and a deep understanding of generational needs." -- Chief Marketing Officer, Amy Hu
Looking ahead
This research comes at a critical time when American families are increasingly navigating complex caregiving responsibilities. The study's findings reinforce the importance of comprehensive planning, supportive workplace policies, and financial products designed with caregiving realities in mind. Our support of this research reflects our ongoing commitment to understanding and addressing the evolving needs of the families we serve.
