Description:

This dataset shows the percentage distribution (%) of the respondents' main long-term care recipients by their relationship to their care provider.

Long-term care refers to a range of supportive services and medical assistance provided to individuals who require extended or ongoing help with activities of daily living, for a minimum of three months.

Respondents were asked "What is your main care recipient’s relationship to you?" They selected one option from the following list:

  • Child (including step-child and adopted child)
  • Spouse/partner
  • Parent, parent-in-law, stepparent, grandparent
  • Other relative/in-law person (e.g. grandchild, cousin, nephew, niece, uncle, aunt, sibling, child-in-law)
  • Other non-relative (e.g. friend, neighbour)

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 1-2), “Medium” (ISCED 3-4) and “High” (ISCED 5-8). ISCED levels are: Primary education or less, Lower secondary education or equivalent level, Secondary education (e.g. high school), Post-secondary education non-tertiary (e.g. technical education lasting minimum 6 months), Short-cycle tertiary (e.g. advanced vocational education lasting minimum 2 years), University: Bachelor’s or equivalent level, University: Master’s or equivalent level or University: Doctoral (PhD) or equivalent level.
