This report (28 pages, in French) summarizes a study led in France on caregivers who support one or more older adults living at home. It profiles those most affected by the responsibilities of caregiving and explores the underlying causes for this along with the impact of the role on caregiver health.
The study is based on data from two nationally representative surveys: the 2014 Vie quotidienne et santé (VQS) and the 2015 Capacités, Aides et Ressources des seniors (CARE-Ménages).
