- New federal data provides insight into who provides unpaid care for our elderly and young children, including the so-called "sandwich generation," who juggle the demands of both family and career.
As Anne Gaviola explains, this data sheds light on the hidden toll of free labour that keeps our economy running and households afloat.

So you want to be paid for looking after your family? Her kids are teenagers. I'm sure they are not useless.
There is literally a program for that...
True, her teens need to step up if they haven’t yet, but she is still working to support them as they are dependents.
Unpaid time. You mean being a family? What are you whining about?
exactly its a family package
Exactly .We are supposed to look after each other .Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t think that way.
They're also talking about how how burdensome caretaking is and how it negatively impacts your mental and physical health. It's not worth it.
Poor me, poor me. Don't want to look after kids don't have them. Your parents are your problem, self entitlement to the extreme.
Dont have kids. Don't have to caretake old parents either. It's actually not required by law to caretake them. Loads of people stick their parents into nursing homes.
Don't have kids. Simple. There needs to be more nursing homes for elderly care. Care taking an old person is too demanding and takes a toll on your mental an dphysical health. It's a burden and not worth it.
Why don't my high taxes go towards healthcare, child care and retirement care?!?
They do..., for Israel.
I don't know a single Canadian who supports Israel...
@@Rocksteady246you probably don’t live near Jewish communities than
governments occupied
as if
Don’t forget about the opioid crisis… taxes goes to police for catch and release of drug dealers and paramedics to revive addicts only to OD the next day…
so... working and taking care of your family is benign nowadays. You can do both. You expect to be paid to take care of your family? Many cultures have multi generational homes where they take care of one another.
This is the reason I didn't have kids, I have 2 boomers to start looking after in the the next 5 years. I hope the cares keep there chins up. It's hard and it's draining but you are the best at it.
I honestly don’t think I could last very long taking care of multiple children, parents, in-laws, grandparents…people who do and live to tell about it are a special breed.
This is good news to hear
This is hilarious. Middle-aged people have always taken care of the young and the elderly.
Not to this extreme
We all know what we’ve gotta do, but male siblings who do nothing to help are the real reason it’s so hard. Selfish people will stand by and watch while they take care of themselves only. Really, they know what’s going on big time, and they couldn’t care less. That’s what we need to fix and never will. The story is as old as Adam and Eve.

There is a caregiver allowance; apply for it...
You're coping and triggered look at you.
Cope! Triggered!
Wow - what a bunch of nasty comments!!
I could go for a sandwich
There's no such thing. You imagined it
I was raising three young kids alone when I was also helping my mother who had cancer . Some People are such snowflakes 😂
Calling someone a snowflake on youtube comments is NOT a flex. LOL!! Dont have kids. Simple.
Family members taking care of each other is not a hardship 😂.Being rude to women on CZcams because you’re angry you can’t get one in real life is not a flex LOL!
@@Kris-sf2qfignore Rupert he is the definition of snowflake.
@@Kris-sf2qf You are the one calling people who choose not to caretake elders "snowflakes". Caretaking is a *choice* . People can CHOOSE to caretake or not. Many have good reasons not to be caretakers. This is not one size fits all. Also, grow up Karen.
@@ThinkPolisComing4Me Ignore "Think.." He doesn't think nor use logic.
