Community well-being : Bien-être des collectivités, comparaisons entre collectivités analogues

Overall, the disparity in well-being between the matched reserve/non-reserve pairs was very similar to the disparity between the complete set of reserves and other Canadian communities. [...] The second indicator “high school plus” measures the proportion of the population, aged 20 and older, who have achieved at least a high school education.4 Labour force activity is also comprised of two measures: labour force participation among those 20 years of age and over,5 and the employed proportion of the total labour force aged 15 and over. [...] After assessing the key dimensions of well-being that are included in the CWB, the sources of data and their availability and comparability over time, the sensitivity of the indicators to change, and the weights and scaling assigned to the components in the index calculations, he concluded that the CWB compares favourably to other indices and “the CWB will to be a useful indicator of the well-bein [...] The primary aim of this study is to examine the degree to which the lower levels of well-being in reserve communities are a function of the size and location of those communities. [...] A Comparable Communities Analysis 4 reserve with proximate non-reserves of similar population size.9 We chose the following algorithm, which is based on the mean absolute Euclidean distance across the variables for the two communities in question: where, D is the “distance coefficient” between two communities; is the standard score or z-value for the jth variable of a First Nations CSD; is the sta
