Carer-Friendly Workplaces Official page for the Chair Program in Gender, Health and Caregiver Friendly Workplaces at McMaster

There are more than 5.6 million employees in Canada with adult/elder care responsibilities. With an ageing population and a changing workforce, the number of people providing unpaid care and paid work at the same time is expected to rise. Using a sex/gender lens, the purpose of this project is to examine the relationship between unpaid (informal/family) care giving and paid work. A lack of workpla

ce support can have negative effects on both the caregiver-employee and the workplace, including: missed days, early retirements, reduced productivity, and high employee turnover. Recognizing that all workplaces will be affected by the future demands of care giving, there is a need for change within the workplace to accommodate caregiver employees.
