CHICAGO – Nov. 24, 2003 – Workers who care for both children and elderly relatives put in enough caretaking hours to make it a second job, according to the Personal Time IndexSM by ComPsych Corporation.
Of the employees who were polled, 8 percent are part of the so-called Sandwich Generation, caring for both children and elders. These individuals reported spending an average of 36 hours per week on caregiving duties.
“Two things appear to be increasing: workload and what we call ‘care-load,’” said Dr. Richard A. Chaifetz, chairman and CEO of ComPsych. “More and more Baby Boomers are caring for elderly relatives as well as children. Add to this the increased pressures at work due to layoffs, and you’ve got employees in dire need of help.
“To maintain morale and productivity for these time-taxed employees, it is important for companies to have a work-life and employee assistance program in place,” Chaifetz added.
For the survey, ComPsych looked at three groups of workers: (1) those caring for both children and elders, (2) those caring for children and (3) those caring for elders.
1. Employees who care for both children and elders (8 percent) spend 36 hours total per week on caregiving duties:
• 10.4 hours per week on child care tasks such as bathing, feeding or making care arrangements
• 9.6 hours per week on extra-curricular activities for kids
• 4.5 hours per week driving kids to school
• 4.1 hours per week on care-giving tasks for an elderly relative
• 2.6 hours per week traveling to the elder’s residence
• 4.7 hours per week on making arrangements (financial, legal, social or health-related) for the elder
These individuals reported getting only 6 hours of sleep per night, and needing to take off 18.9 vacation and sick days per year to deal with personal and caretaking issues.
2. Employees (55 percent) who have children spend 30.4 total hours per week on caregiving duties:
• 17.9 hours per week on child care tasks such as bathing, feeding or making care arrangements
• 7.9 hours per week on extra-curricular activities for kids
• 4.6 hours per week driving kids to school
3. Employees (25 percent) who care for elders spend 10 total hours per week on caregiving duties:
• 4.4 hours per week on care-giving tasks for an elderly relative
• 2.0 hours per week traveling to the elder’s residence
• 3.6 hours per week on making arrangements (financial, legal, social or health-related) for the elder
The survey was conducted from Oct. 6 to Nov. 6, 2003, receiving responses from employees of more than 700 ComPsych client companies nationwide
