晚婚晚育、婚外生育增多、女性劳动力参与率提高、人口老龄化等改变了家庭生活，给有照护需求的人带来了新的挑战。美国母亲们减少了家务劳动，但并没有减少抚养孩子的时间。父亲们增加了照顾孩子的时间。密集的育儿实践与更多的双薪和单亲育儿相结合，增加了父母的时间需求。母亲们继续减少带薪工作以满足养育孩子的需求。他们还放弃了休闲时间，并表示自己“总是很匆忙”并且“大部分时间都在处理多项任务”。工作时间紧张的夫妻减少了彼此相处的时间。很大一部分的丈夫和妻子也表示，他们自己的时间“太少”。生育延迟和人口老龄化也增加了（成年）子女和年迈父母在晚年需要工人支持和照顾的可能性。
Delayed marriage and childbearing, more births outside marriage, the increase in women's labor force participation, and the aging of the population have altered family life and created new challenges for those with caregiving demands. U. S. mothers have shed hours of housework but not the hours they devote to childrearing. Fathers have increased the time they spend on childcare. Intensive childrearing practices combine with more dual-earning and single parenting to increase the time demands on parents. Mothers continue to scale back paid work to meet childrearing demands. They also give up leisure time and report that they "are always rushed" and are "multitasking most of the time." Time-stretched working couples reduce the time they spend with each other. A large percentage of both husbands and wives also report they have "too little time" for themselves. Delayed childbearing and the aging population also increase the likelihood that both (adult) children and elderly parents need support and care from workers later in life.
