Knowledge and use of the Official Minority Language at work by healthcare workers, 2001 to 2016

The booklet is structured in three parts. The first part presents key indicators for healthcare workers who can speak or use French in Canada outside Quebec whereas the second part focuses on healthcare workers who can speak or use English in Quebec. Indicators include current and historical rates of knowledge, use and frequency of minority language use at work as well as workers’ geographic distribution across metropolitan areas. Indicators that impact the growth of the healthcare worker population are also presented, including: aging, immigration and interprovincial mobility, geographic retention, in-field retention and time-to-employment of healthcare workers and graduates. The third part provides selected key indicators for provinces and territories. The booklet is based on data from the Census of Population (2001, 2006 and 2016), National Household Survey (2011) and in some cases the Education and Labour Market Longitudinal Platform (ELMLP).
