January 2011 online edition

The January online issue of Canadian Social Trends, released today, contains one article.

The article, "Ethical consumption," uses data from the 2003 and 2008 General Social Survey to explore consumers' propensity to choose or boycott products based on ethical criteria. It compares the evolution of citizens' ethical consumption to other types of political participation. It also provides information on the persons most likely to choose or boycott a product for ethical reasons.

The January 2011 online issue of Canadian Social Trends, no. 91 (11-008-X, free), is now available from the Key resource module of our website under Publications.
