Nunavik Statistics Program

Statistics Canada has recently released the first data from the 2021 Census. For the moment, these are data on the total population in 2021, the change in population compared to the previous census and the number of dwellings per village. These data are available here.

The Ministère des Affaires municipales et de l'Habitation du Québec (MAMH) recently released the 2022 Population Decree for the Northern villages. These data are the benchmark for the application of laws and regulations as well as for the management of government programs. They can be consulted here.

Using the Canadian census as the main source of data, this new report, prepared under the Nunivaat Research Program, analyzes the employment situation in Nunavik, describes the main trends in employment over the last 20 years, and explores the relationship between employment levels and various factors that may help to account for  the differences observed among the different Inuit communities in Nunavik. It can be consulted here.
