Note * significantly different from reference category (p < 0.05) Return to note * referrer Note † reference category Return to note † referrer Note 1 Information on Indigenous identity and belonging to a population group designated as visible minority is captured in two separate questions. 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 and the Canadian Legal Problems Survey. Return to note 1 referrer Note 2 Includes those who responded 1 or 2 to the question "Using a scale of 1 to 5 where 1 means No confidence at all and 5 means A great deal of confidence". Return to note 2 referrer Note 3 Includes those who responded 4 or 5 to the question "Using a scale of 1 to 5 where 1 means No confidence at all and 5 means A great deal of confidence". Return to note 3 referrer Note: Percent calculations include those who responded 3 to the question "Using a scale of 1 to 5 where 1 means No confidence at all and 5 means A great deal of confidence" as well as missing or not stated responses; for that reason, displayed percentages do not sum to 100. Reflects data from those living in the provinces only as the General Social Survey on Social Identity was not collected in the three territories.
