Summary
The purpose of the Indigenous Peoples Survey (IPS) (formerly the Aboriginal Peoples Survey (APS) before 2022) is to provide data on the social and economic conditions of Aboriginal people in Canada. More specifically, its purpose is to identify the needs of Aboriginal people and focus on issues such as education, employment, health, language, income, housing and mobility.
The 2022 Indigenous Peoples Survey (IPS) Sex and Gender Diversity module contains the variables sex at birth, three-category gender, and sexual orientation. Crossings with these sensitive variables can allow for the identification of transgender or non-binary persons. As the population falling under the category ‘transgender’ or ‘non-binary’ is very small, care needs to be taken to ensure the confidentiality of individuals within these categories.
Please note that additional documentation is available for this survey. Please contact your RDC analyst to request this documentation.
