America’s largest-ever generation — the baby boomers — is getting older. As it does, much of the burden of elder care is falling on another group: the “sandwich generation,” adults who are contending with caring for both their own children and for their parents. It’s a problem that will only grow, made worse by the often-unmanageable cost of elder care. In this month’s Highlight cover story, Courtney Martin writes for Vox about one possible solution to the elder care crisis: adult day care centers, which one expert describes as “the best-kept secret in America.” Also in this issue: Four factors the AI job panic is missing. What happens to calves in the dairy industry. And why we’re discovering more new species than ever.
