THE CARING SANDWICH
Caring For Young and Old– The Price Women Pay
The aim of this research project was to investigate and report on the needs (met and unmet) of sandwich generation women (i.e., women who have dependent children and caring responsibilities for other family/extended family members) and older women carers. This research was undertaken in response to the needs of these women being brought to AWC by several member organizations, and because of the growing public awareness/concern for women in these groups. In addition, as part of AWC’s contractual obligation to the Office for Women, AWC was required to research and report on an issue of relevance to the women of Australia and contribute to OFW’s policy development in this area. This research project has served both of these important purposes.
