Abstract
Demographic and medical changes are turning numerous individuals into caregivers. The concept of caregiver burden is examined relative to the resources available for supporting family members who care for an ill or disabled member. An examination of the magnitude of the problem shows that there must be a national policy on caregiving and a shift in national priorities if the need is to be met.Keywords
