Multigenerational Caregiving Data Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Commerce, within 3 years, to make sure at least one major national federal survey asks a question to identify people who gave regular unpaid care to people in more than one age or need group in the past 12 months. These groups are children under 18, adults 18 to 64 with a health condition or disability, and adults 65 or older with a health condition or disability. The question would be tested before full use, and answering it would be voluntary. Within 2 years after the question is added, the Secretary would report to Congress on data quality, response rates, and recommendations, and post the report on the Department of Commerce website.
