Abstract
This study uses Canadian data from the 1996 General Social Survey to estimate a conventional labour supply model and examine the impacts of caregiving to elderly persons on caregivers' labour market behaviour. The results of OLS regression for employed individuals suggest that caregiving negatively impacts the number of work hours for both males and females, although the impact is statistically significant only in the female sample. Probit estimation suggests that caregiving has a negative but insignificant effect on the probability of being employed.
