The General Social Survey - Caregiving and Care Receiving (GSS) 2018 (Cycle 32) is now available for download and can be accessed by researchers with approved projects.

The two primary objectives of the General Social Survey (GSS) are: to gather data on social trends in order to monitor changes in the living conditions and well-being of Canadians over time; and to provide information on specific social policy issues of current or emerging interest.

The purpose of this survey is to provide a snapshot of the lives of caregivers and care receivers in today's Canada.
