Health and social care systems around the world are relying
on a hidden workforce - a group of people in society who often
go unrecognized, are undervalued and unsupported. Unpaid
caregivers provide a crucial safety net for national health care
structures across the world. The interdependence of paid and
unpaid carework must be taken into account as we design, build
and tend our increasingly important and strained care economies.
While progress is slow, home care and caregivers have
been recognized in Canada’s federal, provincial and
territorial Shared Health Priorities. Jurisdictions are
putting in place new approaches to enhance access to care
in the home and support the vital role of caregivers.
The International Forum on Care and Caregiving facilitates
knowledge exchange to shape health and social care in
Canada and internationally. This full day event draws on
world-class research, innovative policies and puts a spotlight
on practical solutions to support care and caregiving.

The Canadian Home Care Association (CHCA) is a national
not-for-profit membership association representing
home care stakeholders from governments (federal,
provincial and territorial), health authorities, publicly
funded home care programs, service providers, medical
and technology companies, researchers and others
with an interest in home care. The CHCA advances
excellence in home care and continuing care through
leadership, awareness, advocacy and knowledge.
Carers Canada is an affiliate of the CHCA and is a national
CARERSCANADA coalition of diverse federal and provincial organizations
PROCHESAIDANTSauCANADA
that join with carers, providers, policy makers and
other stakeholders to affect positive change for carers.
Its vision is a “Canada that recognizes, respects, and
values the integral role of carers in society”.
Based at the University of Sheffield, UK, the Centre for
International Research on Care, Labour and Equalities (CIRCLE)
is a research centre conducting research, evaluation and
consultancy on contemporary policy, practice and theoretical
issues and debates on topics in three main areas: care, labour
and equalities. Its flagship program is Sustainable Care:
Connecting People and Systems. The program is a multi-
disciplinary ESRC-funded program (2017-2021) exploring how
care arrangements, currently ‘in crisis’ in parts of the UK,
can be made sustainable and deliver wellbeing outcomes.
Based at the University of Toronto, the Centre for Global Social
Policy (CGSP) was created in 2013 to support collaborative
research across diverse disciplinary perspectives and locations,
and to share this research with a wide audience. Its major
research project is Gender, Migration and the Work of Care.
The SSHRC-funded project investigates how the reorganization
of care is influencing care workers’ international migration, and
how this relates to gender equality and social development.You can also read
