CMU professor receives federal funds to study cultural, religious differences in family caregiving (WFP)
In 2018, more than 375,000 Manitobans spent 230 million hours looking after ill or aging family members—care worth $3.9 billion.
That same year, about one in four Canadians, or 7.8 million people, provided care to a family member or friend with a long-term health condition, a physical or mental disability or problems related to aging.
Those figures, the most recently available, come from Statistics Canada General Social Survey on Caregiving and Care. And over the next five years, they will form the background to new research by Canadian Mennonite University Prof. Heather Campbell-Enns.
