Population aging is increasing demand for these unpaid caregivers, who play a valuable role in allowing older adults to age in place. Longer lifespans have increased the number of Americans living with health conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, which require extended periods of intensive care. Whereas care for aging Americans was traditionally shouldered by adult daughters, daughters-in-law, and wives, trends in family structure and employment and growing racial/ethnic diversity have altered who provides care, the type of care provided, and potentially their beliefs about caregiving. There has been some growth in policies and programs supporting family caregivers, but they have not kept up with the realities of caregiving for many Americans. Studies have reported on state and federal policies that address some previously unmet needs, such as paid and unpaid family leave and financial support to caregivers (Dawson et al., 2020); however, this patchwork of policies only addresses some groups of an increasingly diverse set of caregivers. For example, the Older American Act (OAA) of 1965, the first to bring social services to older persons living in the community, is a grant-based program with disparate access to services depending where one lives (Administration for Community Living, 2020). Despite the growing numbers of unpaid caregivers providing an array of care services with disparate support needs, they remain invisible in the health-care system that relies on them to provide this care. In this article, we first describe the caregiving landscape in the U.S. population today. Next, we highlight opportunities within the current health-care system: in particular, those with the potential to address some unmet needs of modern caregivers. Finally, we suggest avenues for future research to inform policy.","PeriodicalId":75172,"journal":{"name":"The Public policy and aging report","volume":" ","pages":"19-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/ppar/praa039","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38832732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The consequences of the pandemic are far-reaching, exceeding loss of life and deterioration of health. For example, the government policies enacted to slow the rate of transmission (e.g., “shelter-in-place” mandates; social distancing guidelines) led to limited economic activity. As a result, the United States entered an economic recession, facing reduced production and retail sales in addition to employment loss. At the same time, revitalized social movements against systemic racism, particularly police brutality, were spurred following the recent killings of several Black women and men at the hands of police, including Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. These killings may be interpreted as a reflection of institutional prejudices that disproportionately affect Black and Latinx communities (Jones & Sawyer 2020; Tate et al., 2020). Current efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, respond to the financial impacts of the pandemic, and address systemic racism often rest with federal and state government entities. However, local and more informal spaces such as neighborhoods are also consequential, especially for older adults who are experiencing multiple and compounding sources of vulnerability during this particular sociohistorical moment. Neighborhoods are important organizing features of our lives that profoundly affect how spaces operate in times of crisis and how individuals respond to, and are affected by, those crises (Browning et al., 2006). Past scholarship also documents the powerful influence of neighborhoods on the disablement process, onset of chronic disease, and mental health across the life course (Diez Roux & Mair, 2010; Rogowski et al., 2006), making neighborhoods essential contexts for the aging experience of community-dwelling older adults. It is therefore critical to revisit what neighborhoods mean for health and aging and their unique role in supporting vulnerable populations during the current crises. Such knowledge will not only inform social policy and programs that benefit older adults who wish to age in place, but will also collectively prepare us for crises in the future.","PeriodicalId":75172,"journal":{"name":"The Public policy and aging report","volume":" ","pages":"38-43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/ppar/praa041","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38832736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On average, rural areas are older, sicker, and poorer and have weaker health care infrastructures than urban areas (Jensen et al., 2020). Therefore, we should anticipate that place-neutral policies would impact health and aging differently in rural versus urban areas. Moreover, rural America is not homogenous, but demographically and economically diverse, with a variety of labor markets and social and health service contexts (Leider et al., 2020). Therefore, place-neutral policies will also have differential impacts across the enormous diversity of rural communities. We discuss three large, national policies/programs as exemplars of how policies differentially affect population health and aging in rural versus urban populations: the Older Americans Act, the Affordable Care Act, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. We also discuss implications for policymakers and identify promising areas for research on the spatially disparate impacts of policies on population health and aging.","PeriodicalId":75172,"journal":{"name":"The Public policy and aging report","volume":" ","pages":"24-29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/ppar/praa034","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38832733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
