Social inclusion—Perceived health and well-being among racialized groups, 2023

Today, Statistics Canada's Centre for Gender, Diversity and Inclusion Statistics is publishing a new article with the latest results on the social inclusion indicators of health and well-being, which are part of the Social Inclusion Framework for Ethnocultural Groups in Canada.

Using data from the 2023 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS), the article entitled "Perceived health and well-being indicators among racialized groups, 2023," presents findings on perceived health, perceived mental health, perceived life stress and life satisfaction for the adult population (i.e., individuals aged 18 years and older). The indicators are presented for the seven largest racialized groups in Canada as per the 2021 Census: South Asian, Chinese, Black, Filipino, Latin American, Arab and Southeast Asian. This classification is based on the question regarding the population group used in the Census of Population and Statistics Canada surveys including the CCHS.
