In Love Doesn't Pay the Bills, we explore the role of family caregivers in the modern United States through personal stories and interviews with leaders. Care work is vital to all other aspects of life, yet often under-resourced. Caregivers cannot house and feed ourselves or provide for our own medical needs based on our love for our family members alone: access to income matters. We also have the same needs as other workers for regular time off, to participate in social life and recreation, and for ongoing education and new opportunities over time. email Lisa: lisatschudi@twosquaredmediaproductions.com

The 600 Billion Dollar Value of Unpaid Care Work: With Guest Susan Reinhard

What is the care provided by family caregivers financially worth? We discuss the value of unpaid care in America, how this value is beginning to be recognized or properly supported and what listeners can do to help make sure it is.
