Nearly one in five caregivers are aged 65 or older. That means it's important to address the additional vulnerability of the caregivers, which comes on top of the fact that their income is already too low.
As part of this discussion, it's essential to think about increasing, boosting their incomes. These people are living in poverty. If we add to that the fact that they're caregivers and that this role is likely to become more common because of the aging population, we'll end up with a segment of the population facing a huge social and financial crisis.
For that reason, caregivers have to be considered as a factor that worsens the impoverishment of people aged 65 and over. It's important to take into account the fact that caregiving is a social role that will become more prevalent in this segment of the population.
That has to be considered when it comes to conducting a review. The goal is to increase all the benefits available to people aged 65 and over.
