Katherine E. M. Miller, et al, “Support for Care Economy Policies by Political Affiliation and Caregiving Responsibilities,” JAMA Health Forum (published online Jun. 6, 2025). Survey respondents also strongly support increasing the capacity of the paid caregiving workforce (78.3%) among six proposals included in the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers.
