Confidence in public institutions differs across generations
First-generation Canadians who immigrated to Canada in adulthood had higher levels of confidence in public institutions (the police, the justice system and courts, Federal Parliament, and the Canadian media) than third generation or more Canadians. By contrast, first-generation Canadians who arrived in Canada during childhood had similar or lower levels of confidence in public institutions than Canadians of the third generation or more. These findings are from the article “Differences in confidence in public institutions across generations of Canadians,” released today in Economic and Social Reports.
