This microsite (in French) presents a visual and interactive summary of the report compiled by the Conseil du statut de la femme entitled “Les proches aidantes et les proches aidants au Québec – Analyse différenciée selon les sexes.” It highlights gender-based differences in caregiving situations, defines the term caregiver, draws up a caregiver profile, and looks at types of care provided, the repercussions of caregiving and the government assistance available to caregivers. Lastly, it offers a knowledge-testing quiz.

The microsite is based on data from the 2012 Statistics Canada General Social Survey (GSS) – Caregiving and Care Receiving. ‎ ‎

For the latest statistics on caregivers in Quebec, we recommend reading the report (in French) “Qui sont les personnes proches aidantes au Québec et quel type de soutien apportent-elles ? Une analyse différenciée selon le sexe et l’âge.”.
