Release date: 2021-10-27 - 2. Portrait of Caregivers, 2012 ArchivedArticles and reports: 89-652-X2013001Geography: CanadaDescription:
This issue examines Canadians who provide care to family or friends with chronic health conditions, disabilities or aging needs.

Release date: 2013-09-10 - Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 82-619-M2012004Geography: CanadaDescription:
Mental illnesses largely involve alterations in mood, thinking, and behaviour, as well as other domains of mental functioning, and affect almost all Canadians in some way, either directly or indirectly. They routinely cause significant impairments in emotional functioning, which may lead to social or physical limitations. In some cases, such as in agoraphobia, individuals cannot even leave their homes due to intense anxiety; depression can cause an individual to lose all interest in life. This document describes the mental illnesses that have the greatest impact on Canadians in terms of prevalence or severity of disability, and how they affect the health status of Canadians.
Release date: 2012-01-31 - 4. Women with activity limitations ArchivedArticles and reports: 89-503-X201000111545Geography: CanadaDescription:
This chapter examines the basic demographic characteristics of women and men with disabilities, the types and causes of their activity limitations, the domain in which the disabilities reported most often manifest themselves, the education and income of women with and without disabilities, and their experiences in the workforce.
Release date: 2011-12-14 - 5. Residential Care Facilities ArchivedArticles and reports: 83-237-XGeography: CanadaDescription:
The term "residential care facilities" refers to facilities with four beds or more that are funded, licensed or approved by provincial/territorial departments of health and/or social services. This report focuses on facilities for the aged, facilities for persons with mental disorders and other facilities which provide health or social care. Facilities for the aged include homes for the aged, nursing homes, lodges for senior citizens and rest homes. Facilities such as apartments or other homes for seniors that do not provide any level of care are not included. Facilities for persons with mental disorders include facilities for the psychiatrically disabled, the developmentally delayed, the emotionally disturbed children and centres for those with drug/alcohol problems. Some psychiatric institutions are included here. Facilities in the category 'Other' include those that do not fit in any of the previous categories. Facilities for persons with physical disabilities, for delinquents and transients would be included here.
Release date: 2011-09-29 - Articles and reports: 11-008-X201000211345Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article uses the 2006 Participation and Activity Limitation Survey to examine how many people with disabilities receive help with activities of daily living; the type of daily activities with which they get help; and the care receiver's relationship to the person or persons who provide help with specific tasks. Then it explores how these relationships change as the severity of the care receiver's disability increases.
Release date: 2010-10-19 - Articles and reports: 11-008-X201000111124Geography: CanadaDescription:
Quality of life for persons with disabilities is influenced by many factors that may often interact in subtle ways. This article identifies some of the elements that are associated with a greater life satisfaction among women with disabilities aged 25 to 54 across three main dimensions: daily activities; quality of relationships with family and friends; and health.
Release date: 2010-03-08 - Journals and periodicals: 89-628-XGeography: CanadaDescription:
The Participation and Activity Limitation Survey (PALS) is Canada's national survey that gathers information about adults and children whose daily activities are limited by a physical, mental, or other health-related condition or problem. The reports in this series document disability rates, demographic distribution, type and severity of the activity limitation, specialized equipment or aids, support required to complete everyday tasks, barriers and accommodation to employment, education, housing, transportation, leisure and impact of activity limitations on children and their families.
Release date: 2010-01-29 - 9. Work life balance of older workers ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200911013238Geography: CanadaDescription:
Although it has received some attention in the Canadian literature, the issue of work life balance of older workers remains largely understudied. This article addresses that gap using data from the 2005 General Social Survey. Overall, 14% of Canadian workers age 55 and over reported being dissatisfied with their work life balance in 2005. The sources of conflict most frequently cited were too much time on the job and too little time for the family. Work life balance dissatisfaction was associated with having a disability, providing elder care, working long hours, occupying a managerial position and being a woman. At the same time, having an employed partner, being self-employed and enjoying one's job reduced the probability of work life conflict. When the self-selection of older individuals out of employment was taken into account, the risk of work life conflict did not vary with age.
Release date: 2009-12-17 - 10. A comparison of individual and area-based socio-economic data for monitoring social inequalities in health ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X200900411035Geography: CanadaDescription:
Area-based indicators are commonly used to measure and track health outcomes by socio-economic group. This is largely because of the absence of information about individuals in health health administrative databases. This study compares area-based and individual indicators.
