Differences in living arrangements of older seniors by mother tongue / by Feng Hou and Anh Ngo.: CS36-28-0001/2021-5-3E-PDF
"This article provides an overview of the living arrangements of Canadians aged 75 and older across mother tongue groups. Analysis is based on the 2016 Census of Population short-form questionnaire and includes older seniors in both private and collective residences. Among the 2.5 million Canadians aged 75 and older in 2016, 15% lived in collective dwellings, while the others lived in private dwellings, that is, 43% lived with a spouse but not in a multigenerational household, 6% lived in a multigenerational household, 8% lived with other family or non-family individuals, and 28% lived alone. This pattern of living arrangements varied considerably across mother tongue groups. In particular, the share of seniors aged 75 and older living in a multigenerational household ranged from 2% to 68%, while the share living in collective dwellings ranged from 3% to 22%. Among older seniors living in collective dwellings (nursing homes and seniors’ residences), there were large group differences in official language ability and income"--Abstract, page 1.
