CLE Description provided by the sponsors:

This 90-minute FREE online CLE webinar panel discussion on February 23, hosted by the Ohio Women's Bar Association and the Toledo Women's Bar Association, will provide information as to why women are disproportionately burdened and how to avoid or mitigate some of the challenges faced by the Sandwich Generation. Women have been caught between the work front and the home front for years and now, we have an increasingly elderly population on one end of the spectrum and a generation of children on the other.

Sandwiched in the middle are the 40-to-59-year old Americans who are responsible for both their parents’ and their children’s well-being. This middle cohort is growing. Nearly half (47%) of adults between 40-59 years old care for an elderly parent. Between 2016 and 2060, it’s expected that the number of Americans ages 65 and older to increase by 92%. Women in the sandwich generation are disproportionately burdened by the financial, domestic, and emotional dependencies of their family members. To explain why that is, we need to apply the gender lens to three contributing factors: pay equity, unpaid labor, and labor force participation.

Participants will receive a post-event deliverable with resources and information that will assist those facing the care of parents. A special thank you to our sponsors, Squire Patton Boggs and Taft Law for their support in bringing attention to this topic.
