Response mobility and the growth of the Aboriginal identity population, 2006-2011 and 2011-2016 / by Vivian O’Donnell and Russell LaPointe.: CS99-011/2019-2E-PDF

"The Aboriginal population in Canada is growing at a remarkable pace. Between 2011 and 2016, the Aboriginal identity population increased 19.5%, compared to a 4.2% increase in the non-Aboriginal population. Growth in the previous census period of 2006 to 2011 was also significant; the Aboriginal identity population increased 19.8% while the non-Aboriginal population increased 5.2%. What can account for this growth? While birth rates in the Aboriginal population have remained relatively high, there are non-demographic factors to consider. This study examines response mobility, which refers, in this context, to the phenomenon by which people provide different responses over time to census questions about Indigenous identity"--Introduction, page 3.
