|
|
In this section we present the data about the relations between immigrant care workers, their co-workers and their employers, as well as their employment status and working conditions. We begin by discussing the influence of the immigration status of immigrant care workers on their working conditions. We then address the issue of the challenges immigrant care workers pose for employers in home and long term care and their impact on staff relations. Subsequently, we describe how the care setting in which immigrant care workers are employed affect their employment conditions and in turn how this influences the retention of these workers. In the next section, we focus on the reasons why immigrant care workers choose to stay in Canada and continue working in care sector for older adults, despite the difficult conditions they experience in their work and living environments. Finally, we underline the policy implications arising from these key findings.
