- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202000400002Description:
The objectives of this study are to describe recent provincial trends in the proportion of births to immigrant mothers and to determine whether disparities in birth outcomes according to immigrant maternal birthplace vary across the provinces. Statistics Canada's Vital Statistics-Birth Database (2000 to 2016) was used to extract 5,831,580 records on live births for the analyses.
Release date: 2020-06-24 - Articles and reports: 75-006-X201700154877Description:
This study uses data from the 2012 Aboriginal Peoples Survey (APS) to examine the prevalence of early motherhood (i.e., having become a mother before the age of 20) among First Nations women living off reserve, Métis women and Inuit women aged 20 to 44. Data from the 2011 General Social Survey (GSS) are used for non-Aboriginal women. The study also examines whether early motherhood is associated with different outcomes in terms of education and employment.
Release date: 2017-12-01 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201701154885Description:
Based on a representative national dataset, this study examines associations between maternal education and income, their respective associations with the risk of small-for-gestational-age birth and preterm birth, and the influence of both socioeconomic measures simultaneously.
Release date: 2017-11-15 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201701154886Description:
This study examines perinatal outcomes among First Nations, Inuit and Métis. The objective is to describe and compare rates of preterm birth, small-for-gestational age birth, large-for-gestational age birth, stillbirth and infant mortality in the three Indigenous groups and the non-Indigenous population.
Release date: 2017-11-15 - Articles and reports: 75-006-X201700114787Description:
This paper examines associations between breastfeeding and select chronic conditions—asthma/chronic bronchitis and chronic ear infections—among off-reserve First Nations, Métis and Inuit children in Canada aged 1 to 5 years. Data are from the 2006 Aboriginal Children’s Survey, and each Aboriginal group was studied separately. Two aspects of breastfeeding are examined: feeding history (e.g. bottle-fed, breastfed, or both) and duration of breastfeeding.
Release date: 2017-03-20 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201601214686Description:
This study examines birth and death registration data and census data to compare rates of preterm birth, small-for-gestational-age birth, stillbirth and infant mortality, based on the presence or absence of paternal data on the birth registration and in census results, while controlling for maternal characteristics.
Release date: 2016-12-21 - 7. Oral contraceptive use among women aged 15 to 49: Results from the Canadian Health Measures Survey ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201501014222Description:
Based on results for 2007 to 2011 from the Canadian Health Measures Survey, the present study estimates the prevalence of oral contraceptive (OC) use among non-pregnant reproductive-aged women; profiles OC users by sociodemographic characteristics and cardiovascular risk factors; and identifies the OCs used, by estrogen dose and progestin type.
Release date: 2015-10-21 - Articles and reports: 89-625-X2007002Geography: CanadaDescription:
Over the past few decades, important social, economic and demographic changes have transformed the lives of Canadians: the decline and control of fertility, the legalization of divorce, an increase in common-law unions, and the entry of women in huge numbers into the labour market. In turn, these transformations have been examined in order to bring to light the extent and consequences of these changes on the family environment.
Given these changes and trends, the 2006 General Social Survey addressed the question of how young Canadian families are negotiating key transitions on the early years of family life. The nature and timing of transitions such as the establishment and advancing of a career, moving out of the parental home, marriage or common-law union, accumulating assets such as a car or house, family formation and the dissolution of a common-law union or marriage, may be changing as the Canadian economic and social context changes. In addition, the survey explores the kinds of resources young families need and use as they move through these important family transitions.
This report focuses on two of these key transitions, analyzing first the experiences of respondents who have had, or adopted, a child between 2001 and 2006, and secondly, examining the experiences of those who have had a separation or divorce during that same period. For both transitions, the analysis provides a brief description of those who experienced the change, then explores the services and resources that were used to help families as they move through these transitions.
Release date: 2007-06-13 - Articles and reports: 91-209-X20030009188Geography: CanadaDescription: The visible minority population is growing rapidly in Canada and accounts for an increasing proportion of the birth rate. How do the various visible minority groups in Canada's population differ from one another with respect to fertility? The study shows that fertility is higher for visible minority women as a group than for the rest of the population, that fertility varies appreciably from one visible minority group to another, and that removing the effects of the groups' socio-economic characteristics, including religious denomination, does not eliminate fertility differentials.Release date: 2006-06-30
- Articles and reports: 91-209-X20020009227Geography: CanadaDescription: The first assesses how the fertility of immigrant women evolved between 1976-1981 and 1996-2001. It examines whether the fertility behaviour of immigrant women is tending to converge with that of Canadian-born women, and if so, how rapidly this is occurring for different immigrant groups. It also estimates the fertility of immigrants' children, the second-generation of Canadians.Release date: 2003-12-22
