The latest issue of Canadian Social Trends, from Statistics Canada provides a profile of caregivers who lived at a distance from parents to whom they were providing care.
The first section of this study provides a statistical profile of caregivers who live far from their parents and compares them with caregivers who live close by. The second section looks at the different financial, social and work schedule impacts that are associated with living relatively far from the care recipient.
Information is provided about the socio-economic characteristics of caregivers, the types and frequency of care provided, the use of additional sources of assistance, etc.
The primary focus is on the financial, social and work consequences associated with assisting a parent who lives far from a caregiver's place of residence.
