  • 1. Socioeconomic correlates of loneliness among immigrants with disabilities
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202600400004
    Description: The experience of loneliness is not evenly distributed in the population but disproportionately affects certain social groups. For example, persons with disabilities have a greater risk of loneliness than persons without disabilities and immigrants have a greater risk of loneliness than Canadian-born persons. This study examines how differences in the experience of loneliness between immigrants and Canadian-born persons with disabilities emerge in the context of socioeconomic participation (employment and school attendance) and socioeconomic deprivation (food insecurity, core housing need, low-income status), using data from the 2022 Canadian Survey on Disability.
