CCNA Working Caregiver Research
Are You Working and Providing Care to an Elderly Relative?
If so, we would like to hear about your challenges and experiences by having you participate in a National Survey on Balancing Work, Family and Caregiving.
Study Goal
The goal of this survey is to increase awareness at both the public policy and employer level of the challenges faced by those seeking to combine work, caregiving and perhaps childcare and thereby make the business case for change. The study also seeks to identify differences in caregiving challenges faced by employed caregivers caring for relatives with various forms of dementia versus those caring for relatives with chronic non-dementia conditions. Raising awareness of these challenges will shine a light on issues that must be addressed if Canadian organizations are to remain competitive and caregivers are to remain healthy.
