Abstract
This thesis explores the challenges of caregivers in Nova Scotia and their barriers to accessing respite care and government support. This thesis is guided by social reproduction theory, the political economy of aging, and the life course perspective. These perspectives help to better understand how unpaid care work is valued in the care economy and why this labour has been largely overshadowed and underappreciated due to neoliberalism and capitalism. This research uses a mixed-methods approach including seven semi-structured interviews with caregivers across the province, which are supplemented with secondary data analysis of the 2018 General Social Survey – Caregiving and Care Receiving. The findings highlight the need for better access to home care services, respite care, and government funds to help caregivers and mediate caregiver burden. Helping caregivers in this manner is a necessary step to avoid a crisis of care and to ensure a better quality of life for caregivers and their care recipients.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
