Description:

This indicator shows the distribution of care among those with long-term care responsibilities before and during the pandemic. Long-term care refers to care for older persons or people with a disability.

It is based on the questions: “Nowadays, who in your household generally provides care for older people or people with limitations in their usual activities due to health problems and/or with disabilities?”, “Since the start of the pandemic, has the distribution of care for older/people with limitations, changed?” and “Before the pandemic start, who was providing care for older /people with limitations?”

Valid response were grouped into the four categories:

  • Completely or mostly my my partner
  • About equal or both together
  • Completely or mostly by me
  • Mainly another person
