An overview of conditions in Inuit Nunangat : based on the 2006 Aboriginal Peoples/SLiCA Survey / Prepared for the Strategic Research Directorate, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada ;...: R5-700/2011E-PDF
"The Survey of Living Conditions in the Arctic (SLiCA) is an international collaborative effort involving Canada, the US, Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. Its aims are to measure living conditions in a way relevant to Arctic residents (primarily Inuit peoples), and to allow for comparisons between northern areas, rather than between northern and southern regions of the same country. Canada was among the first countries to implement SLiCA, with an initial wave in 2001 and a second in 2006. This was possible because Statistics Canada was able to incorporate many of the SLiCA questions into its recurring Aboriginal Peoples Survey (APS). This approach came at a cost in international comparability, but allows the SLiCA and APS data to be analyzed together. The present analysis showcases some of the additional depth that can be derived from the APS/SLiCA combination. It covers Inuit living in Inuit Nunangat, and focuses on four topics: economic activity (both traditional subsistence activities and wage labour); education; community life; and health"--Executive summary, p. i.
