The survey included 1,193 adults who consider themselves a caregiver for a parent, spouse or partner age 65 or older. Everyone who took part is a member of the Center\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/the-american-trends-panel\/\">American Trends Panel<\/a>. The survey represents the views of the full U.S. adult population.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/02\/ST_2026.2.26_family-caregivers_questionnaire.pdf\">survey questions<\/a> used for this report, the <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/02\/ST_2026.2.26_family-caregivers_topline.pdf\">detailed responses<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/social-trends\/2026\/02\/26\/family-caregiving-methodology\/\">survey methodology<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/social-trends\/2025\/11\/06\/how-americans-are-thinking-about-aging\/\">U.S. population ages<\/a>, the need for caregivers among older adults is on the rise. There\u2019s growing evidence that family members are <a href=\"https:\/\/publichealth.jhu.edu\/2025\/number-of-family-caregivers-supporting-older-adults-increased-nearly-one-third-between-2011-and-2022\">increasingly taking on these roles<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We surveyed 8,750 U.S. adults from Sept. 2-8, 2025, to learn about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The experiences of those who are <strong>caring for an aging parent<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The experiences of those who are <strong>caring for an aging spouse or partner<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What we found is that the caregiving burden increases as aging family members get to be 75 and older. And, among Americans with an aging parent, spouse or partner, those with lower incomes are much more likely to be caregivers than those with middle and upper incomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, providing regular care for an aging parent affects men and women differently, with women more likely to say it has a negative impact on their personal well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This research is part of our ongoing effort to study how the U.S. is changing socially and demographically and how the public is reacting to these changes.
