New Jersey has paid leave and job protections so that workers can afford to care for their loved ones. However, this aspect of paid leave for caregiving purposes is less understood and utilized
→ One study found that New Jersey has an estimated 1.2 million family caregivers, but that fewer than 1 percent of family caregivers used Family Leave Insurance. Yet the majority of adults are likely to need to take time off to care for a loved one at some point in their lives. Together we can help increase awareness and access to paid leave for caregiving. Join us for a virtual convening on September 7, 2022, where we will hear from workers, caregivers, and advocates to dig into this topic.
