Study highlights food insecurity and isolation among Canadians with disabilities
Published by BriefDash ·
New Statistics Canada research, released October 14, examines Canadians with disabilities using the 2022 Canadian Survey on Disability. It finds that 31% lived in households facing moderate or severe food insecurity and 64% reported loneliness. The report explores how material hardship and social isolation overlap. Its percentages describe survey findings from 2022, rather than a new measurement of conditions in 2026.
Why it matters
The report highlights food security and social connection as concerns for people with disabilities.
