Help Shape How Statistics Canada Shares Social Research

Official title: Share you feedback on the Special Edition issue of Insights on Canadian Society

Closed Policy & Studies Education Technology & Digital
Statistics Canada wanted feedback on a new format for their social research publication. They're testing shorter, more interactive articles instead of traditional long reports. Virtual group discussions were held to see if readers find this approach more useful and accessible.

Why This Matters

Ever skip a government report because it's too long? This is about making social data easier to digest. If you care about labour trends, income inequality, or demographic shifts, how this info gets presented affects whether you'll actually read it.

What Could Change

Statistics Canada may redesign how they publish social research. Expect shorter articles you can explore interactively, rather than dense PDF reports. The flagship publication 'Insights on Canadian Society' could get a more accessible Special Edition format.

Key Issues

  • Is the new Special Edition format useful for readers?
  • Are shorter, interactive articles more accessible than traditional reports?
  • Does the Special Edition provide relevant value to readers?
