In national media and in recent government announcements, more attention is being paid to the caregiving of older people. But what do we really understand by family caregiving? 

How do women, in particular, bear the responsibility of caregiving? What happens when caregivers themselves age and require care? And how can we start to count family caregiving as “work” – one that deserves financial support, benefits and protections?

We want to hear from you – whether you are or have been a caregiver, you’re a family member or friend of caregivers, or you simply want a society where caregivers are fairly rewarded and have their labour recognised.

Your voices and stories will contribute to a critical and ever-growing conversation about the reality of family caregiving.

If you are/were a caregiver and would like to share your experiences and perspectives, please write to Nabilah at media@aware.org.sg.
