"The care economy, which refers to activities related to the provision of care, including care for children, seniors and people with disabilities, as well as health care and education, is a fundamental component of societies. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the essential nature of this sector. In Canada and around the world, demographic and socioeconomic transformations - notably the aging population - are increasing the demand for care workers. Although the care economy includes paid and unpaid work, the focus of this study is on paid workers. It uses data from the 2016 Census of Population and from the Labour Force Survey to examine their personal and job characteristics through a gender lens. It also examines how the pandemic has impacted paid care worker employment, compared with workers in all other occupations. This article is the first to provide a detailed portrait of paid care workers in Canada"--Overview of the study, page 1.
