The economic consequences of providing unpaid care are overwhelming negative. However, the existing evidence excludes youth family caregivers. Youth caregivers typically have lower educational attainment and worse mental and physical health outcomes than non-caregiving peers, yet the long-term economic outcomes for youth caregiving are unknown. We describe the associations between youth caregiving (aged \u003C25 at time of first caregiving episode) and later-life economic and caregiving outcomes  \nInnovation in Aging, 2025, Vol. 9, No. S2 275  \ncompared to individuals who never report caregiving in their lifetime. We use the Health and Retirement Study Core and Leave Behind Supplement. Among youth caregivers, respondents reported two caregiving episodes (providing unpaid care for ≥6 months) on average over the life course and 15% became a caregiver again after age 50. Compared to individuals who never became caregivers, youth caregivers are significantly more likely to be female (77% vs 51%); have lower levels of life-time educational attainment (25% have bachelor’s or higher versus 34%); and were less likely to initiate post-secondary education within 2 years of graduating high school (-14.2 percentage points). Youth caregivers’ predicted social security value at age  \n50 is approximately $23,000 less than never caregivers ($75,071 vs. $98,271). Youth caregiving before age 25 is associated with later life socioeconomic status and likelihood of becoming a caregiver in later life. Further research to disentangle the causal  \neffects of caregiving across the life course is necessary to inform targeted policy supports to mitigate long-term adverse economic consequences.","cbCaiuedsUM30D0u","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuedsUM30D0u","pdf",522031,"English","# Abstract\n## Study Design and Data Source\n## Key Findings\n## Implications for Policy and Future Research","[{\"question\":\"What population does the study focus on?\",\"answer\":\"The study focuses on youth family caregivers, defined as those who were under 25 at the time of their first caregiving episode, and compares them with individuals who never report caregiving.\"},{\"question\":\"Which dataset is used to analyze long-term outcomes?\",\"answer\":\"The analysis uses the Health and Retirement Study Core and the Leave Behind Supplement.\"},{\"question\":\"What economic difference is reported for youth caregivers by age 50?\",\"answer\":\"Youth caregivers’ predicted Social Security value at age 50 is about $23,000 lower than that of never caregivers ($75,071 vs. $98,271).\"}]","THE LONG-TERM SOCIOECONOMIC OUTCOMES OF YOUTH CAREGIVERS: EVIDENCE FROM THE HEALTH AND RETIREMENT STUDY | PDF",1790643349]
