Thank you, Madam Chair.
First of all, thank you very much to all our witnesses for presenting your wonderful ideas and your reports.
My questions are focusing more on labour force participation and workplace consideration, and also on the caregiving roles.
We have done a lot of studies on long-term care. I'm not going to specifically talk about formal caregiving. Right now, studies show that even before the pandemic, there were a lot of outbreaks of other diseases. Primarily, many of the people who are caring are unpaid. For example, you have parents looking after sick kids and adult children looking after grandparents and parents, and their jobs are not paid.
During these challenging times, one of the presenters mentioned that a female worker would have to drop off her kids to their grandma or her parents to be looked after. Of course, grandparents may not be in the workforce, but for those who are in the workforce and have to do additional unpaid jobs, what should we do to find out exactly where they are and how we should support them?
