flag Indigenous adults who were in government care as children face worse health and economic outcomes, study finds.

flag A new Statistics Canada report shows that Indigenous people who were in government care as children face worse health and economic outcomes later in life compared to those who were not. flag Issues include higher disability rates, lower health, homelessness, and difficulty meeting basic needs. flag The 2018 data reveals 11% of Indigenous people aged 15 and older were in care, compared to just 2% of non-Indigenous people. flag This reflects a high rate of family separation in Indigenous communities, suggesting a systemic issue needing immediate change.
