This indicator shows the proportion of women and men providing informal long-term care. Long-term care refers to care for older persons or people with a disability.
It is based on the question: “Do you provide unpaid care towards older people or people with limitations in their usual activities due to health problems and/or with disabilities?”.
More information on the methodological aspects of EIGE’s survey ‘Gender Equality and Socio-Economic Consequences of Covid-19 crisis’ can be obtained in the technical report.
This indicator is disaggregated by whether respondents report having a child under 11 within their household.
