This infographic and research snapshot (3 pages) look into the monetary value of care provided by caregivers in Canada. Both documents use data from the Statistics Canada 2018 General Social Survey to estimate the monetary value of the care provided, position the contribution of caregivers in the broader Canadian economy and report on how it is distributed across the country. The information shows the true financial extent of the contribution of caregivers, not only in terms of its benefits for their loved ones, but also for the health and social services sector and for the Canadian society as a whole.
