Exclusive: AARP-NAC Report Finds 45% Increase in Americans Providing Care.

Study reveals 63 million Americans are now family caregivers, facing rising stress, health risks and financial strain.

By Paul Wynn, AARP. Published July 24, 2025.

The number of family caregivers has jumped to 63 million Americans, representing a 45 percent increase, or nearly 20 million more caregivers, over the past decade, according to a joint report by AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC).

This means roughly 1 in 4 American adults are caregivers, with 59 million caring for adults and 4 million for children under 18 with an illness or disability. The new report, Caregiving in the US 2025, is a near 30-year research series that provides a comprehensive look at the state of caregiving in America, revealing how caregivers are taking on more complex responsibilities, often at the expense of their own health and financial security.
