This series of three research briefs presents the findings of a multi-part study examining the experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic of Indigenous, European immigrant and visible minority caregivers who live and work in Ontario, with a specific focus on those who support a person living in another province or country.
The first brief, Visible Minority Immigrants as Transnational Carer-Employees Amidst COVID-19, focuses on visible minority immigrant caregivers. The second, Mental Wellness with Family Beyond Borders: A Closer Look at Immigrants’ Tools for Self Care Under COVID-19 Restrictions, focuses on caregivers who are European immigrants. The third, The Indigenous Experience and Complex Relationship with Employment: Providing Informal Care During COVID-19, presents the findings related to First Nations, Metis and Inuit caregivers. The impact of caregiving, workplace influence and the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic are the themes common to all three.
The findings are based on qualitative interviews with the research subjects.
