72% Informative

JD Vance , a Republican vice presidential candidate, wrote about his grandmother's role in his memoir, “ Hillbilly Elegy’s ” role in raising his two grandchildren well into her 70s .

LZ Granderson: Vance 's grandmother was trapped in a loop of intense, oppressive caregiving that demands that women take care of some loved ones from the cradle and care of other loved ones to the grave.

She says it's a rare woman in her 50s who can afford to leave her job and uproot her life for the benefit of her grandchildren, and society should stop assuming that should.

If an older female caregiver steps out of the workforce, the financial impact in terms of lost wages and Social Security benefits for the rest of her life is $ 324,044 .

This doesn’t account for the psychological and physical stress caregiving exacts upon women.

Vance can honor his Mamaw with policies that expand health insurance for family caregivers, establish a national child care system, provide broader access to mental health services and create caregiver-friendly tax and retirement policies.
