Exclusive: AANHPI women caregivers face financial stress – AsAmNews
A new NAPAWF survey finds many AANHPI women caregivers face financial insecurity, burnout, and limited support while caring for family members

Here are some early findings from In Focus, our new annual study examining the issues shaping AANHPI women and gender-expansive people nationwide! 👇
The majority of AANHPI women+ are caregivers, but 42% lack a health care provider for their own reproductive health care needs. Logos of NAPAWF, Sprout Insight, and Lake Research Partners are at the bottom.AANHPI women+ carry significant caregiving responsibilities while navigating economic insecurity, gaps in health care, and fears around immigration status and enforcement. Nearly half are not confident in their economic ability to care for a family member who is seriously ill or injured, aging, or who has chronic health conditions. Among those caring for someone with a serious health or mental health condition, 40% know someone avoiding travel, medical care, work, or other public places because of immigration status.

Today is NHPI Women’s Equal Pay Day, a stark reminder of the pay gap between Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander women and non-Hispanic men. NHPI women earn just 67¢ for every $1 paid to white, non-Hispanic men–and some face even wider gaps. Pay equity can’t wait.
