Canadian Happiness Report (May 2022)

The Canadian Happiness Report series is dedicated to communicating empirical findings on Canadians’ wellbeing to the public. Our goal is to aid in developing a rigorous and effective QoL framework for Canada using the latest data and methods. In the first report, we found that Canadian well-being has been on a downturn since the late 2000s. In this report, we document well-being inequalities across demographics and capture the current variation in some key indicators that make up the Department of Finance’s QoL framework. Our next report will feature an in-depth review of community and population-scale QoL interventions which could be used in Canada to reverse the decline in well-being.

Canadian Happiness Report (Mar 2022)

This report will be the first in a series where we present our findings on Canadians’ well-being. Going forward, we will be exploring topics such as well-being trends across provinces and well-being inequality. These more detailed analyses will serve to build a comprehensive and fine-grained understanding of changes in Canadians’ well-being over time. They will also measure disparities of happiness across Canada, which can be used for more effective policy implementation by the Canadian government.
