The term “sandwich generation” refers to adults who find themselves caring for aging parents while also raising their own children. This generation is growing in significance as Canadians live longer and family structures evolve. Many of these caregivers are balancing demanding careers, parenting responsibilities, and the complex needs of their elderly parents, creating a unique set of challenges. From emotional stress to financial strain, the sandwich generation bears an immense responsibility that underscores the need for more comprehensive support systems.
