I'm lucky that my job would allow me time to look after my parents, if need be. But I see women who quit work in their 50s to look after their parents and I wonder what will happen to them. The rich can pay for care, but the women who need to work, sometimes single women - who will hire them in their late 50s after a multi-year work gap to care for parents? I see this as a direct road to poverty.
