Statistics on Indigenous peoplesSocial inclusion indicators for Canada's ethnocultural groups

More information on Social inclusion indicators for Canada's ethnocultural groups
This one-stop data portal introduces a framework to organize and access data on social inclusion for ethnocultural groups and immigrants in Canada and responds to an increased demand for statistical indicators to support evidence-based decision-making aimed at building a more equitable and inclusive society.
The social inclusion indicators published on this portal are categorized into 11 themes relevant to the analysis of social inclusion. They are drawn from a variety of data sources, including the Census of Population, social and health surveys, and other administrative databases produced at Statistics Canada.
The themes are: participation in the labour market; civic engagement and political participation; representation in decision-making positions; basic needs and housing; health and wellbeing; education, training and skills; income and wealth; social connections and personal networks; local community; public services and institutions and; discrimination and victimization.
The data tables on social inclusion indicators are listed below.
Today is the first release of the data and the portal will evolve with increased content and easy to use tools over time. New data tables, a reference guide for the complete list of social inclusion indicators and definitions, data visualization, and analytical products will be added in the next few months.

Disaggregated Data Action Plan
In Budget 2021, funding was allocated to Statistics Canada to implement the Disaggregated Data Action Plan (DDAP). This funding will support more representative data collection methods, enhance statistics on diverse populations to allow for intersectional analyses, and support government and societal efforts to address known inequalities by bringing considerations of fairness and inclusion into decision-making.
