The bill aims to enhance multigenerational caregiving data collection by adding a question to a major federal population survey to identify individuals providing unpaid care to both children and older adults across households. The Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with relevant federal agencies, will ensure this question is included in one major survey within three years. The bill specifies that responses to this question will be voluntary, with testing and reporting requirements. Additionally, the bill provides definitions for terms such as "major federal population survey" and "multigenerational caregiver." This legislation seeks to better understand and address the unique challenges faced by multigenerational caregivers in the United States.
