Caregiving Conflicts

Caregiving Conflicts addresses the growing tension between work and family caregiving responsibilities. Millions juggle careers with caring for children, aging parents, or family members with disabilities, leading to significant work-life balance challenges. The book highlights how neglecting the needs of working caregivers results in decreased productivity, increased stress, and substantial societal costs. It presents a structured, research-backed analysis, emphasizing the economic impact of caregiving and the psychological toll on caregivers. The book uniquely examines the issue from individual, employer, and policy perspectives. It progresses by first establishing the prevalence of family caregiving and its economic impact, then analyzes the psychological stresses. Existing policies are evaluated, and successful organizational strategies are presented as case studies. Ultimately, the book advocates for comprehensive policy changes, such as paid family leave and flexible work arrangements, and offers strategies for individuals, employers, and policymakers. Drawing from economics, sociology, and public health, Caregiving Conflicts provides actionable recommendations for improving workplace policies and advocating for legislative changes. Real-world examples and data support the arguments, making it a valuable resource for human resource professionals, business leaders, policymakers, and caregivers seeking to create more supportive environments.
