Time format:
Years
Unit:
Percentage (comparable)
Description:

This indicator explores the relationship between self-assesed general health and long-term care and/or childcare responsibilities.

In particular, the indicator shows what percentage (%) of respondents have assessed their general health as belonging to each of the given categories. In particular, the respondents were asked "How is your health in general?" and had to choose among the following answer categories:

  • Very good
  • Good
  • Fair (neither good not bad)
  • Bad
  • Very bad
  • Prefer not to answer

Those opting not to answer have been excluded from the analysis.

The percentages have been computed separately for each of four groups of respondents defined by their care responsibilities:

  • Neither LTC not childcare responsibilities (for own children)
  • Only long-term care responsibilities
  • Only childcare responsibilities (for own children)
  • Both long-term care and childcare responsibilities (for own children)

This indicator is disaggregated by the education level of the respondent. Responses were grouped into three levels of education according to the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED): “Low” (ISCED 0–2), “Medium” (ISCED 3–4) and “High” (ISCED 5–8). ISCED levels are: 0 Pre-primary education; 1 Primary education; 2 Lower secondary education or equivalent; 3 Secondary education (e.g. high school); 4 Post-secondary education non-tertiary (e.g. technical education lasting minimum 6 months); 5 Short-cycle tertiary (e.g. advanced vocational education lasting minimum 2 years); 6 University: Bachelor’s or equivalent level; 7 University: Master’s or equivalent level; 8 University: Doctoral (PhD) or equivalent level.
