Construction of a Northern Market Basket Measure of poverty for Nunavut / by Nancy Devin, Burton Gustajtis and Sarah McDermott. : CS75-0002/2022-3E-PDF

"As stated in the Poverty Reduction Act, the Market Basket Measure (MBM) is now Canada's Official Poverty Line. This discussion paper describes the proposed methodology for a new Northern Market Basket Measure (MBM-N) for Nunavut which builds on the existing MBM-N methodology for Yukon and the Northwest Territories. The methodology proposed in this discussion paper is for the construction of a 2018-base MBM-N for Nunavut. However, there will be a comprehensive review of the MBM and the MBM-N methodologies, which is expected to occur in 2023. The paper also presents initial MBM-N Nunavut thresholds and provides preliminary poverty rate estimates for the 2018 to the 2021 reference years. In addition, it presents the thresholds for 2022 reference year. A review period will follow the release of this paper, during which Statistics Canada and Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) will welcome feedback from interested parties and work with experts, stakeholders, Inuit Organizations, and federal, provincial, and territorial officials to validate the results"--Page 3.
