3. Résumé

The results of the third study show that «[p]roviding care to an elderly parent is positively and significantly associated with the probability of retirement in Quebec, Ontario and BC [British Columbia]. However, providing care to a parent, who co-resides or lives at a close distance to the child, increases the probability of retirement of children caregivers significantly in Quebec and BC only. In-home caregiving in Quebec increases the probability of retirement of the child by 10.5% then their counterpart out-of-home caregivers and non-caregivers. In-home caregiving in BC increase the probability of retirement of about 19% relative to out-of-home caregivers and non-caregivers.» (p. 99) Overall, «in regions like BC, Quebec and Ontario , where home care expenditures as a percentage of health care expenditures is lower than the national average, parental caregivers are more likely to completely or partially retire.» (p. 103)
