A growing share of the workforce is quietly caring for children and aging relatives in addition to their full-time jobs.
Sparrow surveyed hundreds of U.S. caregivers to understand the real impact of this “sandwich generation” dynamic on the workplace. The findings point to a significant, largely invisible strain:
- 83% say caregiving affects their wellbeing
- 30% have avoided new projects or promotions because of caregiving demands
- 68% would leave their job for one with better caregiver support
These pressures are already shaping performance, retention, and leadership pipelines—often without employers realizing why.
