  • 1. Local Environments Lift Life Satisfaction
    Stats in brief: 11-627-M2022028
    Description:

    People in Canada tend to report having high levels of satisfaction with their local environment. This infographic showcases selected data from the Wave 2 of the Canadian Social Survey (August to September 2021). Visuals highlight data for the population aged 15 and older in Canada's 10 provinces who reported a high level of satisfaction with their local environment, by age, gender, geographic region, and the outdoor activities in which they chose to participate over the past year. A high level of satisfaction with local environment is defined as a response of 8, 9 or 10 to the question "On a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 means you feel 'Not at all satisfied' and 10 means you are 'Completely satisfied,' how satisfied are you with the quality of your local environment such as access to green space, and air or water quality?" Satisfaction with local environment is an indicator in the Quality of Life Framework for Canada.

  • 5. A comparison of parenting concerns in Canada and the United States during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202200100003
    Description:

    As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Canadian and American parents of young children have faced unique stressors, such as additional homeschooling and caregiving responsibilities, and families in both countries have experienced pandemic-related deteriorations to mental health (Gadermann et al., 2021). This paper examines the parenting concerns of parents of young children in the U.S. and Canada during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic based on data from Statistics Canada’s Parenting during the Pandemic crowdsource survey and the University of Oregon’s Rapid Assessment of Pandemic Impact on Development – Early Childhood (RAPID-EC) survey, and explores contextual factors that might explain the similarities and differences between Canadian and American parents’ pandemic experiences.

  • 7. Measuring workplace psychosocial factors in the federal government
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202101200001
    Description:

    The National Standard of Canada for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace (the Standard) identifies 13 psychosocial factors affecting psychological health and safety in the workplace that employers should measure and monitor with the goal of addressing areas for improvement. This study sought to determine the suitability of the Public Service Employee Survey as a tool for the assessment of these psychosocial factors in public service employees. It also aimed to explore—in a preliminary manner—predictors of job satisfaction in these employees. Data from the 2017 and 2019 Public Service Employee Survey were analyzed. Specifically, exploratory structural modelling and tests of measurement invariance were used to identify a measurement model reflecting the psychosocial factors outlined in the Standard and to evaluate the equivalence of this model across both Public Service Employee Survey administrations.

  • 1. Health State Descriptions for Canadians: Mental Illnesses Archived
    Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 82-619-M2012004
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    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.
