Title:Building the 3rd Wave of Care - Wellness, Work, and Caregiving Redefined
The evolution of caregiving through the lens of the Three Waves of Care framework highlights the socioeconomic challenges across caregiving models. In Wave One, traditional family-centered caregiving, a family member, usually a woman, was typically at home caring for children, spouses, and parents, with no outside employment.
In Wave Two, women entered the workforce in large numbers, facing the dual work and life roles that plague employed caregivers. These roles are only slowly becoming recognized by policymakers, lawmakers, and employers, as well as healthcare, home care service providers, family members, and caregivers themselves. Today, ballooning aging care needs and the motivation of 90% of baby boomers who expect to care at home – a critical mass of employees now experiences intense care and work conflicts accompanied by various associated impacts such as low productivity, job insecurity, stress, anxiety and morale issues – along with mental health and financial vulnerability. Employee-caregivers are emerging as perhaps the most vulnerable group of employees. This is exaggerated for people of color and underserved communities.
Wave Three represents the emerging paradigm of integrated care solutions that balance professional and family caregiving through innovative policies and employer-supported frameworks. In addressing the Three Waves of Care, we present a view of the future of aligned healthcare and family care systems within an expanded ecosystem. These approaches mitigate economic risks and enhance workforce retention and productivity. We can foster a more sustainable and equitable care ecosystem.
