The economic aspect of caregivers’ unpaid labor was estimated. The study considered structure of seniors’ care assistants in terms of age, education level, marital status and employment sector of workers and activity type of the unemployed. Data concerning rural areas was confronted with figures characterizing urban areas. Based on literature review in the field of gerontology, nursing and public health the author identified health and social risks related to the role of caregiver for people, who are “in the twilight” of their lives. It was found that theoretical knowledge concerning Caregiver Stress Syndrome (CSS) present in Polish scientific publications for the last five years does not reflect the actual needs of informal caregivers, who look after elderly family members. Public attention mainly focuses on seniors without recognizing the needs of caregivers.}, type={Text}, title={Problemy nieformalnych opiekunów seniorów w rodzinie – kwestia ważna czy mało ważna?
