How will the Research Data Centres benefit Canadians?
Canada is going through a period of rapid social change. Decision makers, both inside and outside government need an up-to-date and in-depth understanding of Canadian society to help them not only to respond to today’s needs, but to anticipate tomorrow’s as well. A number of Statistics Canada’s longitudinal surveys have already made important contributions to policy debate in this country. With increased and improved research, many of the surveys promise to deliver even more insight on issues surrounding children, youth, a dynamic economy, health and health care, and Aboriginal peoples issues that are important to all.
