Title: General Social Survey on caregiving and care receiving: Public use microdata file (PUMF), 2012

Abstract:  

The public use microdata file for Cycle 26 (2012) of the General Social Survey (GSS) is now available. 
Cycle 26 focused on Canadians who provided care to family and friends for a long-term health condition, 
disability or age-related problems, as well as those who received care from family, friends or professionals. 

The survey covered individuals aged 15 years and over living in private households in the provinces.
In addition to updating the care-related information collected in previous years, 
the 2012 GSS introduced new content, including the type and severity of the health condition necessitating the care; 
the impact of caregiving on the lives of caregivers; satisfaction with care received from various sources; 
and accessible housing. As in all GSS cycles, data were also collected on the respondent's main activity, 
education, income and other sociodemographic characteristics.


Definitions, data sources and methods: survey number 4502 .
