This report (33 pages, in French) focuses on the reality of caregivers who have had to cease or modify their professional activity due to caregiving responsibilities. The study examines the life paths of these caregivers and analyzes their decision-making processes with a view to shedding light on their often-overlooked role in the professional world.

The findings are based on a qualitative survey conducted between October 2019 and January 2020 with 24 caregivers. Their testimonies, collected during semi-structured interviews lasting an average of one hour, have helped identify the challenges and needs associated with balancing care-related responsibilities and employment.
