Gender-Sensitive Home and Community Care and Caregiving Research: A Synthesis Paper  
Add to Shortlist | View Shortlist
This synthesis paper is a review of 45 gender-sensitive studies of home and community care and caregiving. It has several purposes: to critically review and synthesize gender-sensitive research on caregiving and home and community care primarily in Canada, focusing on unpaid caregivers and recipients of care only; to place these studies in the context of health care restructuring; to identify gaps in gender-sensitive research about home and community care; and to identify the policy implications of the findings about women and men care recipients and unpaid caregivers, with particular attention to the policy recommendations of these studies.
