A Conversation with Ai-jen Poo on the Caregiving Crisis: Exploring how cogenerational initiatives can help advance economic opportunity for all.
Sep 5, 2023 03:00 PM
The caregiving crisis touches us all. The problems are familiar – a shortage of day care and elder care workers, undervalued and underpaid caregivers, the economic opportunities lost because of a lack of care options. Caregivers – both professional and in families – are burned out. But the solutions are elusive.
In this free, one-hour webinar, CoGenerate Co-CEO Marc Freedman will introduce a conversation between Co-CEO Eunice Lin Nichols and the nation’s expert on caregiving, Ai-jen Poo. Ai-jen is a next-generation labor leader, author, and expert on elder and family care, the future of work, gender equality, immigration, and grassroots organizing. She's the director of Caring Across Generations, president of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, and winner of the MacArthur “Genius” Award.
The two women will discuss the crisis, care as infrastructure, and caregiving as “the essential work of the human experience.” They’ll also turn to the most promising solutions, including those that bring older and younger people together to improve life for caregivers and those who need care.
This webinar will mark the launch of the CoGen Challenge to Advance Economic Opportunity, a partnership with the Ares Charitable Foundation to elevate cogenerational models that bring older and younger generations together to help create a more inclusive and prosperous future.
