Hours Spent Looking After Children, Without Pay (7), Selected Labour Force, Demographic, Cultural, Educational and Income Characteristics (312) and Sex (3) for Population 15 Years and Over, for Canada, Provinces, Territories, Census Metropolitan Areas and Census Agglomerations, 1996 and 2001 Censuses - 20% Sample Data - ARCHIVED

This table is part of the topic 'Canada's Work force: Unpaid work,' which shows 2001 Census data on the unpaid work of the Canadian work force, including unpaid household work, unpaid child care and unpaid senior care. These data, together with information on paid work, provide a more complete picture of the work activities of all Canadians.

This information can be used to study that part of the population whose main activity is unpaid household work; to analyse the division of household work between men and women; to better understand the contribution of men and women to the economy; to evaluate the capacity of the unpaid sector to absorb care-giving responsibilities no longer provided by the paid sector; and to analyse how workers balance their job and household responsibilities.
