Statistics Canada, in collaboration with Canadian experts on care, has embarked on a cross-cutting project to develop a framework that defines the scope and magnitude of the care economy. This project seeks to provide a foundation for a holistic data ecosystem on the topic of the care economy, drawing on Statistics Canada’s existing data holdings related to care work. This report proposes a conceptual framework for the care economy based on the results of research and consultation. It will also provide a foundation for future research and assessment of Statistics Canada’s existing data holdings and point toward directions for future data development.
