Despite the increased emphasis on caregiving for older relatives, the labour market effects of caregiving have not been given much attention. However, a comprehensive approach to caregiving is needed. As with their children, women are expected to look after elderly relatives the same way as men. Unfortunately, many women are not well prepared to assume this responsibility. They may also face economic hardship in the future. Women who look after others do not receive any financial remuneration.
Women's caregiving responsibilities to elderly kin should be considered in the context of a changing labour marketplace. The majority of employment studies, however, focus only on early family formation and do not address caregiving responsibilities for the later years. While it is expected that women will care for the elderly, they must also balance work responsibilities. This balance can only be achieved at the end of a person's life. Women will need the most caregiving during their midlife years.
Research on women's caregiving responsibilities to elderly kin has focused on the tasks, stress and sense of obligation. Additionally, research has focused on women's work patterns and their time. These results reveal significant differences in the caregiving responsibilities of men and women. Also, the results indicate that the number and type of women employed has no significant impact on women's caregiving responsibilities for their elderly relatives. However, some evidence shows that elderly relatives are less cared for than their children.
Longitudinal studies are essential to understand the connection between LTC policies at national level and women caring for elderly relatives. Studies should also include data on the employment status of daughters and other family members. This is because, despite the recent rise in women working, there are no statistics that show how many women are caring for their elderly relatives.
Recent surveys of more than 7,000 Canadians revealed that women's careers are significantly affected by their caregiving responsibilities. Caregiving was cited by nearly twice as many women as it did for men. A few women said they had trouble attending social events. Additionally, most respondents said they couldn't move to an area that had more caregiving options.
Also, women who have a job do not give as much support to their elderly loved ones as women who do not. Their perceived health is also a significant factor in their satisfaction with their roles. These results suggest that women should address their career limitations in order to improve community health care.
The family size can also influence the caregiving responsibilities. Canada doesn't have any national statistics on how many women are working and caring for elderly relatives. This has meant that there is little understanding of the impact of caregiving on the labour markets. Canada's public policies continue to treat caregiving for others in Canada as a private responsibility.

What is the Healthcare Industry Value Chain (or Value Chain)?
The healthcare industry value chain consists of all the activities involved in providing healthcare services to patients. This includes the business processes within hospitals and clinics and the supply chains that connect them to other providers such as physicians, nurses, pharmacists, insurance companies, manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributors. This results in a continuum that starts with diagnosis and ends with discharge.
The value chain is composed of four main components:
-
Business Processes – These are the tasks that individuals perform throughout the delivery of health care. For example, a physician might perform an examination, prescribe medication, and then send a prescription to a pharmacy for dispensing. Each step must be done correctly and efficiently.
-
Supply Chains – All organizations that ensure the right supplies reach the correct people at the right times. An average hospital has many suppliers. These include pharmacies, lab testing facilities and imaging centers.
-
Networked Organizations - To coordinate these various entities, there must be some form of communication between the different parts of the system. Hospitals have many departments. Each has its own number of phones and offices. Each department will have its own central point, where employees can get updates and ensure everyone is informed.
-
Information Technology Systems - IT plays a critical role in business process efficiency. Without IT, things could quickly go sour. IT is also a platform that allows for the integration of new technologies into the system. If doctors want to integrate electronic medical records in their workflow, they can use secure network connections.
