Little is known about the financial impact of unpaid caregiving. Even less is known about the financial impacts of caregiving on millennial caregivers/care partners. Toronto-based Ph.D. student, care partner and millennial, Husayn, is aiming to fill these gaps. As part of his thesis, he is conducting an online survey among home-based, unpaid caregivers/care partners from Ontario to understand the impact of care expenses on overall income, employment, and general health. In t...he future, he hopes to expand this study across Canada. He hopes findings from this study may be used by policymakers to improve the financial well-being of Canada's rapidly growing community of unpaid caregivers providing care/support for someone living at home. If you are a caregiver/care partner in Ontario, please consider participating in this important research. For more information and/or to participate, visit: is.gd/unpaidcaregivingstudy.

People say, ‘Well, they’re old anyway.’ - Macleans
