This dataset shows what percentage (%) of all respondents provide informal long-term care to individuals in need of assistance with daily activities due to mental, physical frailty, disability, or old age.
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.
This indicator is disaggregated by self-reported disability status. It is based on responses to the following question:
"Are you limited because of a health problem in activities people usually do? Would you say you are…"
For the purposes of this indicator, people are classed as having a disability if they selected one of the first two responses above ("severely limited" or "limited").
More information on the methodological aspects of EIGE’s “survey on gender gaps in unpaid care, individual and social activities (CARE)”.can be obtained in the technical report.
