I don't know if we collect data specifically related to measuring that, although I'm going to take note and look at that. Like many other health professions, I think our workforce is 93% or 94% female. As a result, the pressures of child care, culturally and however that is, still largely fall on women.
In the OT workforce, we see a trend where we see some peaks and valleys. We have a higher-than-average rate of part-time employees, which we believe is partially related to not only caregiving for children but also caregiving on the other end, for aging parents. Then we see that same population heading out a little bit early, which could be for a number of reasons.
Although we don't collect data specifically looking at child care, we can definitely make some inferences around the fact that our profession is primarily female, so we know about those pressures.
In my experience, out in my neck of the woods, I'm not familiar with any programs that are supporting, say, our large health authorities, like Vancouver Coastal Health and other larger authorities in the north and on the island. But we'll look with keen interest to how this impacts that area.
