## Summary

**Multigenerational caregiving data** would be collected to identify unpaid caregivers who care for children and adults across generations. The bill would require at least one major federal population survey to add a voluntary question within 3 years and to report on data quality and response rates within 2 years after the question is used. - Families and caregivers: Households that provide unpaid care across generations would start to show up in national statistics, giving future policy debates clearer evidence about their needs and work pressures. - Policymakers and researchers: Would gain nationally representative data to study how multigenerational caregiving affects labor force participation, health, and economic outcomes, improving the evidence base for programs and supports. - Federal statistical agencies: Would need to develop, cognitively test, and as appropriate field test a voluntary survey question and publish an evaluation on the Commerce Department website. The law names surveys like the American Community Survey, Current Population Survey, and National Health Interview Survey as possible vehicles.

## Provisions PRIA read

- New federal survey on family caregivers: benefit, low. If enacted, the Commerce Secretary would make sure at least one major federal survey asks about multigenerational caregiving within three years. The question would ask whether you provided regular unpaid care in the past 12 months. The bill defines a multigenerational caregiver as someone who cares…
