I’ve always thought it was odd that we should want to push caregivers into the paid workforce when we already have a saturated labor market and everyone is struggling to find a job; and even if they find one, they still struggle to make ends meet because of the high supply of labor/low wages. Makes no sense at all.
Don’t think we need caregiver tax credits, but the contributions of caregivers, and the sacrifices they make WRT permanently impaired income earning potential, not to mention loss of consortium (compensatory damages?) for older women, should definitely be taken into consideration in legal matters.
