- Abstract
-
The Environics Institute for Survey Research, in partnership with Canadian Roots Exchange and the Mastercard Foundation, created the Canadian Youth Reconciliation Barometer as a new social research initiative to establish benchmark indicators for the state of reconciliation among the country's youth. The primary objective of this research is to generate credible, independent, empirically-derived evidence that will be broadly accepted across Canadian sectors and communities. Such information is intended to serve as point of common ground that brings different stakeholders together, and as a means of measuring progress (or the lack of) over time.
The research focuses on the beliefs, attitudes, priorities, behaviors, and experiences as they pertain to relevant dimensions of Indigenous-non-Indigenous relations, and reconciliation in particular. This study will establish benchmarks that provide a definitive measure of the state of reconciliation among Canada's youth as a whole and within specific population segments. It will produce a set of indicators that can then be used in future surveys to build upon the benchmark as a means of charting trends at a national level, as well as within specific communities of interest.
The inaugural research in 2019 consisted of a survey conducted online between March 22 and April 29, 2019, with representative samples of 682 Indigenous and 695 non-Indigenous youth (ages 16 to 29), distributed across the 10 provinces and three territories. The sample was stratified to ensure representation by region, community type (urban rural, on-reserve), age sub-cohort, gender, and Indigenous group (First Nations, Metis, Inuit), based on the most current population statistics (2016 Census). The survey was conducted in English and French (as per respondent's preference). - Resource Subject
