Key Messages
Income
Median after-tax income in those aged 15 years and over in northern Saskatchewan in 2010 was
$16,860, around 40% lower than the province as a whole.
The proportion of total income coming from government transfers in northern Saskatchewan
health authorities ranges from 18.7 to 28%, compared to 11.5 to 12.4% in Saskatchewan and
Canada, respectively.
The northern health authorities have greater proportions of their populations in the first two
adjusted after-tax Canadian family income deciles, and smaller proportions of their populations
in the last six deciles compared to either Saskatchewan or Canada, who have very similar
proportions. Overall, this indicates that a greater proportion of northerners have much lower
income levels then their provincial and national counterparts.
The prevalence of low income in off-reserve private households in northern Saskatchewan in
2010 was between 24 and 48%, across various age groups. This was between 1.5 and 2.3 times
greater than the corresponding provincial rate.
Education
Northern Saskatchewan had three times the provincial rate of individuals aged 25-64 years
without a certificate, diploma, or degree. Northern Saskatchewan also had lower rates of
individuals with all other types of educational qualifications (e.g. high school, trades, college,
and university) compared to the province.
Employment
The employment rate in Saskatchewan, 65%, is between 55 and 97% higher than the
employment rates in the northern Saskatchewan health authorities.
The long-term unemployment rates in the northern Saskatchewan health authorities range
between 3.3 and 15.6%, which are between 3.3 and 5.2 times higher than the provincial rate of
3%.
Gradients in socioeconomic indicators
There appear to be gradients in many socioeconomic indicators such as income, education and
employment rates in which northerners tend to attain lower levels compared to the province
and country. Subsequently, within each of these geographic areas, individuals who self-identify
as Aboriginal tend to attain lower levels then the regions as a whole.
Housing
In Saskatchewan and Canada, around 70% of private dwellings are owned by the household. In
the northern Saskatchewan health authorities, this number drops to between 21 and 44%.
Northern Saskatchewan health authorities had between 2.5 and 4.3 times the proportion of
dwellings requiring major repair, and between 4.8 and 11.4 times the rates of crowding.

Language
Between 44 and 84% of the population in the northern health authorities reported having an
Aboriginal language as their mother tongue, and between 28 and 71% reported that an
Aboriginal language was the language they spoke most often at home.
Variations among communities
Northern communities share many commonalities; however they also vary greatly among one
another in terms of their social determinants of health such as income, education, and
employment levels, as well as their housing conditions and use of Aboriginal languages. For
many of these indicators, some communities score as good, or better, than the province as a
whole, while other communities struggle with rates that are up to 25 times worse than the
province.

Determinants of Health
In Canada, there are 12 factors recognized as the key determinants of health, including income and
social status, social support networks, education and literacy, employment and working conditions,
social environments, physical environments including both the natural and built environments, personal
health practices and coping skills, healthy child development, biology and genetic endowment, health
services, gender and culture 1.
It is recognized that the determinants of health do not act in isolation from one another, but rather
interact with each other to have combined and interrelated effects on the health of the population 2.
This is most notable for chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer, which have multiple
risk factors and usually require many years to develop. This extended development period provides
ample time for the determinants of health to be involved in complex interactions with each other, the
individual, and the environment in the development of the disease. Therefore, care must be taken to
look at a variety of health determinants to get a more complete picture of the root causes of diseases.
Research has illustrated that the impact between the social determinants of health and health status is
not just between the advantaged and disadvantaged, but rather there is a clear social gradient that is
seen at each level throughout society 3. It has been suggested that part of this gradient-effect may be
explained by a person’s ‘control over (their own) destiny 4. According to Syme 4,5, a person with lower
social class has fewer opportunities, resources, skills and training to influence events that affect their
lives. Regardless of exactly how income and social status impact health, it is clear the relationship is
strong and very complex.
There are many models and frameworks that visually depict the determinants of health 6. One of the
most widely used is the “Wider determinants of health model” created by Dahlgren and Whitehead 7.
Although there are slight differences between the various models, they all show how the determinants
of health are connected to society as a whole.

There are also determinants of health that are more closely linked to the Aboriginal peoples, including factors
such as self-determination, culture, language and heritage, and colonization. The First Nations Wholistic
Policy and Planning Model pictured below highlights some of these key characteristics 8.

Appendix A – Data Notes
1. Data Sources
2011 Census of Population – The 2011 Census of Population collects information on characteristics such
as population, age, sex, dwellings, families, marital status and language. The goal of the census is to
collect information on every man, woman and child living in Canada. Data is released for various levels
of geography, including provinces and territories, census metropolitan areas, census subdivisions census
tracts and health regions.
2011 National Household Survey (NHS) – The NHS provides information about the demographic, social
and economic characteristics of people living in Canada as well as the housing units in which they live.
Previous to 2011, this information was collected by the mandatory long-form census questionnaire;
however, in 2011, major changes in the format resulted in this data being collected as part of the
voluntary NHS. The NHS survey was distributed to a random sample of 33% of all private dwellings in
Canada which resulted in varying response rates. Data has been released at various levels of geography
including Canada, provinces and territories, census metropolitan areas/census agglomerations, census
divisions, census subdivisions, census tracts, federal electoral districts and health regions. However, data
is suppressed from the NHS for a variety of reasons including geographies having populations of less
than 40 persons, a global non-response rate to the NHS greater than 50%. In addition, income data
collected from the NHS are suppressed if the population in the area is less than 250, or if the number of
private households is less than 40.
NHS Aboriginal Population Profile – The Aboriginal Population Profile presents information on the
Aboriginal identity population from the 2011 NHS. Data is available for areas where the NHS Aboriginal
identity population is 250 or more. The Aboriginal identity population refers to whether the person
reported being an Aboriginal person, that is, First Nations (North American Indian), Métis or Inuk (Inuit)
and/or being a Registered or Treaty Indian (that is, registered under the Indian Act of Canada) and/or
being a member of a First Nation or Indian band.
2. Definitions
Global Non-response Rate (GNR) – For the 2011 NHS estimates, the GNR is used as an indicator of data
quality. This indicator combines complete non-response (household) and partial non-response
(question) into a single rate. A higher GNR indicates a higher risk of non-response bias and as a result, a
higher risk of inaccuracy. The threshold used for estimates' suppression is a GNR of 50% or more. See
Appendix A - 3 for a list of northern census subdivisions by the GNR.
Median After-tax Income – After-tax income refers to total income from all sources minus federal,
provincial and territorial income taxes paid for 2010. The median income of a specified group is that
amount which divides their incomes into two equal halves, i.e., the incomes of the first half of
individuals are below the median, while those of the second half are above the median. Median income
is calculated for those individuals who are at least aged 15 years and who have an income.

Government Transfers – This refers to all cash benefits received from federal, provincial, territorial or
municipal governments during 2010. This variable is derived by summing the amounts reported in: (1)
the Old Age Security pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement, Allowance and Allowance for the
Survivor; (2) benefits from Canada Pension Plan or Quebec Pension Plan; (3) benefits from Employment
Insurance: (4) child benefits; and (5) other income from government sources.
Adjusted After-tax Family Income Decile – For economic family members, this refers to economic family
after-tax income that has been adjusted by a factor that accounts for family size. The adjustment factor
takes into account the lower relative needs of additional family members, as compared to a single
person living alone. For use with the NHS income data, the adjusted after-tax income is computed as the
economic family after-tax income divided by the square root of family size. For persons not in economic
families, the adjusted after-tax income is set at after-tax income. This is equivalent to a factor of 1.0 for
a person not in an economic family. The deciles divide the population ranked by size of adjusted after-
tax family income into 10 groups of equal size. The population in the bottom decile is the one who falls
in the lower 10 percent of the adjusted after-tax family income distribution. The population in the top
decile is the one who falls in the highest 10 percent of the adjusted after-tax family income distribution.
The 10 groups were formed with the full population in private households of Canada, whether or not
they reported income.
Low Income After-tax (LIM-AT) Private Households – For this measure, the income used is after-tax
income of households. There are no regional variations to account for prices or cost of living differences:
all applicable households in Canada face the same line adjusted for household size. This line is set at half
the median of adjusted household after-tax income. To account for potential economies of scale, the
income of households with more than one member is divided by the square root of the size of the
household. All household members are considered to share the household income and are attributed
the same income status. For the purposes of low income statistics, units in the Yukon Territory,
Northwest Territories and Nunavut, and on Indian reserves, were excluded.
Employment Rate – This refers to the number of persons employed in the week of Sunday, May 1 to
Saturday, May 7, 2011, expressed as a percentage of the total population aged 15 years and over.
Long-term Unemployment Rate – This is the proportion of the labour force aged 15 years and over that
did not work in 2010 or 2011. The labour force includes individuals who are employed or those who are
unemployed but were available for work and had either actively looked for paid work in the past four
weeks, were on temporary lay-off and expected to return to their job, or had definite arrangements to
start a new job in four weeks or less.
Aboriginal Identity – The Aboriginal identity population refers to whether the person reported being an
Aboriginal person, that is, First Nations (North American Indian), Métis or Inuk (Inuit) and/or being a
Registered or Treaty Indian (that is, registered under the Indian Act of Canada) and/or being a member
of a First Nation or Indian band.
Northern Saskatchewan Health Indicators
Social Determinants of Health: Living and Working Conditions August, 2016 27
Housing Tenure – This refers to whether the household owns or rents their private dwelling, or whether
the dwelling is band housing (on an Indian reserve or settlement).
Occupied Private Dwellings Requiring Major Repairs – Dwellings were classified according to needing
regular maintenance, minor repairs or major repairs. The 'regular maintenance needed' category
includes regular maintenance such as painting or furnace cleaning. The 'minor repairs needed' category
includes minor repairs such as missing or loose floor tiles, bricks or shingles or defective steps, railing or
siding. The 'major repairs needed' category includes major repairs such as defective plumbing or
electrical wiring or structural repairs to walls, floors or ceilings.
Dwellings with more than One Person per Room – This refers to an indicator of the level of crowding in
a private dwelling. It is calculated by dividing the number of persons in the household by the number of
rooms in the dwelling. Rooms refer to enclosed areas within a private dwelling which are finished and
suitable for year round living. The number of rooms of a private dwelling includes kitchens, bedrooms
and finished rooms in the attic or basement. The number of rooms of a private dwelling excludes
bathrooms, halls, vestibules and rooms used solely for business purposes. Partially divided rooms are
considered to be separate rooms if they are considered as such by the respondent (e.g. L-shaped dining
room and living room arrangements).

Mar 2016. *Statistics Canada states that Weyakwin is suppressed as the population is estimated to be less than 40 persons;
however the 2011 Census has estimated the population to be 135 persons. Therefore the data may be suppressed due to a high
non-response rate. The GNRs for CSDs above 50% come from the community well-being index 2011 database. It is important to
realize that many First Nations communities are split up into many CSD’s. For example the community of Fond du Lac has four
listings (Fond du Lac 227, 229, 231 and 232) in the above table.
