Life course trajectories of family care: Implications for care policy

Abstract

Researchers drew a sample of 3,299 Canadians aged 65+ who had ever provided care from the 2012 General Social Survey on Caregiving and Care Receiving (representing 2.1 million Canadians). Using Latent Profile Analysis and cross-tabulations on retrospective care history data, they empirically identified life course patterns (trajectories) of family care.
