Elder Economic Security Initiative™
The Elder Economic Security Initiative™ is an exciting new initiative that seeks to build economic security for older adults through a multi-pronged approach that includes organizing, advocacy and research. The Initiative enables policy makers, aging advocates and others to develop policies and programs to help seniors age with dignity while promoting their economic security. A key component of the initiative is the Elder Economic Security Standard™ Index, a measure of well-being that determines the income and supports needed for older adults to live modestly depending on their health and life circumstances.

Struggling to Make Ends Meet: Personal ProfilesProfile: Gil Jose
Gilbert Jose, a 26-year-old resident of Madison, Wisconsin, learned quickly, and suddenly, the heavy financial and emotional toll of caring for an ill family member. In his sophomore year of college at the University of Maryland – Baltimore County, Gil’s mother suffered a serious stroke. The stroke left her semi-paralyzed on her right side and in need of constant care. Suddenly Gil took on the role of caregiver and householder, in addition to full-time student and employee. |
