Sandwich Generation Women

The “Sandwich Generation” describes those who are sandwiched between the dual responsibilities of caring for their own children and for aging parents or relatives. This group usually falls in the 35 to 64-year-old age range, although people outside that range can also be considered part of the Sandwich Generation.
In addition, women are often the most sandwiched in this situation as they are usually the primary caregiver to children and aging relatives, and they typically make health care decisions for the family.
According to the U.S. Census, more than 42 million women fall into the age range for the Sandwich Generation. That means millions of Americans may be caught in the middle – juggling the multiple responsibilities of jobs, families and aging relatives.
