This presentation provides a summary of some of the recent social and economic developments in Canada while emerging from the pandemic. It highlights examples of economic resilience and upcoming challenges.
Release date: 2022-11-02 - 2. Trajectories of psychological distress among Canadian adults who experienced parental addiction in childhood ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201300311774Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study compares trajectories of psychological distress among a nationally representative sample of Canadians aged 18 to 74 who did and did not experience parental addiction in childhood.
Release date: 2013-03-20 - Articles and reports: 89-599-M2008005Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY) to examine the relationship between late childbearing (at or after age 35) among first-time mothers in Canada and three facets of development: physical health, behaviour and cognitive development. The following research questions were addressed: do the developmental characteristics of children born to older mothers differ from those of children born to younger mothers? And do other factors, such as demographic characteristics and parenting practices, account for differences in child development by maternal age at birth? For this analysis, first-born children were identified from among all interviewed children whose year of birth was between 1998 and 2005.
Release date: 2008-09-24 - 4. Community belonging and self-perceived health ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X200800210552Geography: CanadaDescription:
With data from the 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey, this article compares rates of community belonging at the provincial or territorial and health region levels. Associations between community belonging and mental and general health are examined.
Release date: 2008-04-16 - 5. Social anxiety disorder: Beyond shyness ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-S20040007419Geography: CanadaDescription:
The article "Social anxiety disorder-beyond shyness" is the first of several articles to be released this fall in Focus on Mental Health, this year's annual supplement to Health Reports' How Healthy are Canadians? series.
Based on data from the 2002 Canadian Community Health Survey: Mental Health and Well-being, it provides prevalence estimates of social anxiety disorder (also know as social phobia) among the Canadian population aged 15 or older. The age of onset, duration of symptoms and relationship with other mental disorders are discussed. To assess the burden of social anxiety disorder, associations with social support, functional disability and quality of life are examined. The number of people who sought treatment to help them deal with their social fears is also explored.
Release date: 2004-12-23 - 6. Well-being of off-reserve Aboriginal children ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X20040037734Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article describes the well-being of off-reserve Aboriginal children aged 14 and under, using data from the 2001 Aboriginal Peoples Survey (APS) to focus on off-reserve Aboriginal children with respect to health and well-being, education, and learning and use of Aboriginal languages. It is adapted from A Portrait of Aboriginal Children Living in Non-reserve Areas: Results from the 2001 Aboriginal Peoples Survey (Statistics Canada Catalogue no. 89-597-XWE).
Release date: 2004-12-07 - Articles and reports: 11-522-X20020016744Description:
A developmental trajectory describes the course of a behaviour over age or time. This technical paper provides an overview of a semi-parametric, group-based method for analysing developmental trajectories. This methodology provides an alternative to assuming a homogenous population of trajectories as is done in standard growth modelling.
Four capabilities are described: (1) the capability to identify, rather than assume, distinctive groups of trajectories; (2) the capability to estimate the proportion of the population following each such trajectory group; (3) the capability to relate group membership probability to individual characteristics and circumstances; and (4) the capability to use the group membership probabilities for various other purposes, such as creating profiles of group members.
In addition, two important extensions of the method are described: the capability to add time-varying covariates to trajectory models and the capability to estimate joint trajectory models of distinct but related behaviours. The former provides the statistical capacity for testing if a contemporary factor, such as an experimental intervention or a non-experimental event like pregnancy, deflects a pre-existing trajectory. The latter provides the capability to study the unfolding of distinct but related behaviours such as problematic childhood behaviour and adolescent drug abuse.
Release date: 2004-09-13 - Journals and periodicals: 89-597-XGeography: CanadaDescription:
This article presents information on health, education and language for Métis, Inuit and North American Indian children living in non-reserve areas. It uses the 'children and youth' component of the 2001 Aboriginal Peoples Survey (APS).
Release date: 2004-07-09 - 9. Innovation Is a Social Process ArchivedArticles and reports: 88F0006X2003006Description:
This working paper is based on a speech delivered by Judith Maxwell, President of the Canadian Policy Research Networks. In her discourse, Ms. Maxwell challenged her listeners to 'think outside of the box' on innovation and to be creative in how they approached the topic. For her, innovation extends beyond economic activities into societal interactions and culture. Therefore, innovation translates into more than productivity growth and improved efficiency, but also better living, working and learning conditions.
Release date: 2003-03-28 - 10. Scientific and Technological Activities of Provincial Governments 1992-1993 to 2000-2001 ArchivedArticles and reports: 88F0006X2002005Description:
The information in this document is intended primarily to be used by scientific and technological (S&T) policy makers, both federal and provincial, largely as a basis for interprovincial and intersectoral comparisons.
The statistics are aggregates of the provincial government science surveys conducted by Statistics Canada under contract with the provinces, and cover the period 1992-1993 to 2000-2001.

- Public use microdata: 89M0015XDescription:
The National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY), developed jointly by Human Resources Development Canada and Statistics Canada, is a comprehensive survey which follows the development of children in Canada and paints a picture of their lives. The survey monitors children's development and measures the incidence of various factors that influence their development, both positively and negatively.
