-: The care economy is the vast ecosystem where families,
employers, and institutions come together to support
the young, the old, and the sick.
The fault lines in the US care economy have worsened,
exposing a fundamental mismatch in supply and demand
for care services.
BCG has been exploring the challenges facing
this $6 trillion industry,
and forecasts that if the care economy is not fixed,
then in the year 2030, the US economy could lose
$290 billion in GDP.
Addressing the care problem in the US now
isn't just good business, it's necessary business.
