Male Caregivers & Discrimination in the Workplace

There is a growing number of male caregivers to small children or aging parents in our society. Male caregivers now comprise 45% of all family caregivers in the nation.

The average male caregiver is 49 years old. He works at a full time job though, and is usually caring for an aging parent ( usually his mom- average age of 77). The average source of the caring in this situation is alzheimers or dementia.

It can be attributed to a number of different things though, including divorce, more female primary breadwinners in the family  and more openly gay men.
