abstract: 'Care work is typically undervalued and precarious. However, little is
currently known about the financial outcomes of immigrant women care
workers as they reach post-retirement age, or their access to effective
social policy supports. Using Canada as a case example, this study
analyzes the Longitudinal Immigration Database to compare the income
trajectories of women aged 65-95 who entered the country via the Care
Worker immigration entry class to immigrant women from two other
immigration streams (one focused on higher skill economic contributions,
the other on family reunification). Estimating a series of growth curve
models (n = 28,775), results reveal that between 2007-2017, despite
engaging in paid employment longer, Care Worker women were less able to
make contributions to a private pension plan prior to retirement and
more likely to depend on public pension benefits after reaching
retirement age, relative to other immigrant women. Additionally, Care
Worker women had lower predicted total income and experienced downward
mobility during the post-retirement period. Together, the findings
reinforce the importance of considering the financial circumstances of
immigrant care workers as they age and highlight a need for renewed
government investment in social supports to reduce inequalities tied to
the gendered and racialized devaluation of low-wage caring occupations.'
