The Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD) is the official source for the disability rate among the Canadian population and provides insight on the lived experiences of persons with disabilities. This profile is the first in-depth look at results of the 2022 CSD, following the initial release in late 2023. It builds on a previous CSD report [available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 156.822] and is divided into three sections - demographics, employment, and income - which are guided by three main questions: What is the prevalence of disabilities in Canada? How does the employment level of persons with disabilities compare to those without disabilities? How does income compare between persons with and without disabilities, and what implications does this have regarding poverty?
The publication considers a number of factors that may have a meaningful impact on employment and income for persons with disabilities, including severity of disabilities, age, gender, education, and living arrangements. Where possible, results of the 2022 CSD will be compared with the 2017 CSD, to provide insight into changes in the rate of disability, labour market participation and income over the past five years.
