Having separate questions and variables encourages data users to take into account the differences between these groups, including in terms of their history, background, geographic distribution, and current conditions and situations. These distinctions should be considered when collecting data and planning, monitoring, and evaluating programs and services. For the purposes of this report, in order to have a consistent reference category across all sections, the questions on Indigenous identity and population group have been partially combined in order to create the category of “Non-Indigenous, non-visible minority”. This category includes respondents who indicated they were not Indigenous people and provided responses to the question on population group which indicated that they are not a visible minority according to the Employment Equity Act, which is the basis for the current question on population group used in the General Social Survey. Return to note 1 referrer Note 2 Significance testing for age group used two different reference categories. For age group 45 and older, reference category is 15 to 44. For age groups 25 to 34, 35 to 44, 45 to 54, 55 to 64, and 65 and older, reference category is 15 to 24.
