Women and Home Care: Why Does Home Care Matter to Women?

This publication examines how home care is an important issue for women in
particular, as we provide more than 80% of paid home care and unpaid
personal care for the elderly, and for those of all ages with long-term
disability or short-term illness.

'Women and Home Care' describes how health care reforms have impacted on the
kind of care that is provided at home, the number of people who are cared
for at home, the number of people in households available to give care, and
the participation of most women in the paid labour force.
