Softening the blow of discrimination: The role of social connections in mitigating the harms associated with racism and discrimination
Articles and reports: 75-006-X202500100009Description: Using the Survey Series on People and their Communities (SSPC), this study provides a profile of the self-reported experiences of discrimination against racialized people in Canada, looking at the prevalence and nature of discrimination based on race or ethnicity, and the risk factors associated with it. It then examines the relationship of discrimination with wellbeing and perceptions of Canadian society, and how these possible effects are mitigated by victims’ connections with family and friends.
