Families of children with special care needs lose up to $17.6B in wages
A study published in the journal Pediatrics found that families caring for children with disabilities, chronic illness or other special health care needs spend up to 1.5 billion hours for home health care annually, equating to $17.6 billion in lost wages. Researchers also note that family-provided home health care would be worth $12 billion if performed by unskilled workers and $36 billion if provided by home health workers, given that 20% of US families have a child with special health care needs.
