A new report, "First Nations children living off reserve, Métis children, and Inuit children and their families: Selected findings from the 2022 Indigenous Peoples Survey," provides key insights into the well-being of Indigenous children using new data from the 2022 Indigenous Peoples Survey (IPS), a national voluntary post-censal survey which, in this sixth cycle, focused on children and families. The report showcases the breadth of the survey, providing an overview of select findings on the well-being and health of First Nations children living off reserve, Métis children and Inuit children aged 1 to 14 years.
Recent and culturally relevant data on Indigenous children have constituted a significant data gap. The 2022 IPS helps to fill this gap with information on living arrangements, child care and Indigenous languages and cultures, while also providing essential information on outcomes related to education, employment, housing, mobility, health and access to services.
