Description: Sense of meaning and purpose is an indicator in the Quality of Life Framework for Canada. A strong sense of meaning and purpose is apparent across Canada, as revealed in this infographic which features selected data from Wave 3 of the Canadian Social Survey (October to December 2021). The visuals show the level of meaning and purpose reported by Canadians aged 15 and older by selected demographic characteristics, including geographic region and age group. Here, respondents are said to have a strong sense of meaning and purpose if they answered 8, 9 or 10 to the question “Using a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 means ‘Not at all’ and 10 means ‘Completely,’ to what extent do you feel the things you do in your life are worthwhile?”
