WHY 背景:::  One in five Americans care for aging parents, spouses, relatives, friends or other loved ones. At some point in your life, you either will be a caregiver or need a caregiver.  In , there are more than 4 million family caregivers providing $47 billion annually in unpaid care .  provide caregiving for their families more than any other ethnic group (42% compared to 22% of other Americans).

 Asian Americans have a higher sense of caregiving responsibility with 73% feeling that children in the family should care for elderly parents (compared to 49% of other Americans). 72% of Asian Americans express guilt for not providing more care (compared to 48% of other Americans).  Chinese Americans are twice as likely (14%) to live in multigenerational households compared to other Americans (7%). With the heavy expectation that care should be provided by one’s own family, larger households help enable caregiving. • 五分之一的美國人正在照護年老的父母、配偶、親戚、朋友或其他親 人。如果你目前還不是一位照護者,你便曾經是或者將來會是一位照護 者。在你人生的某個階段,你必然會成為一位照護者或者你將需要一位 照護者。 • 在加州,有超過 400 萬萬萬位家庭照護者萬 ,每年在家提供 470 億元價值的無 償護理。 • 美國亞裔照護家人的比例其他任何族群都高(亞裔 42% ,其他美國 人 22% )。 • 亞裔在照護親人方面有更高的責任感。 73% 的亞裔認為子女必須照護 年邁的父母(相比其他美國人 49% )。 72% 亞裔因為沒有提供更多的 照護而感到內疚(相比其他美國人 48% )。 • 美國華裔家庭幾代同堂生活的比例(14% )是其他的美國人(7% )的 兩倍。由於人們都認為應該由自己家人提供照護,因此大家庭共同生活 更能互相幫忙照護。
