This collection of statistics is a follow-up to our earlier publications, Socioeconomic Profile of Nunavik 2006 and Socioeconomic Profile of Nunavik 20081. Updating began in the fall of 2012 and was motivated by the publication of the first results from the 2011 Census of Canada. Its goal was to overcome the difficulties of comparing Nunavik’s situation with that of other Quebec regions and with Quebec as a whole. The first editions were inspired by the publication Portrait socioéconomique des régions du Québec (socioeconomic portrait of Quebec regions), whose indicators and reporting formats etc. were used in our publication wherever possible. However, in these periodic reports Nunavik was grouped with Eeyou Istchee and la Jamésie within the administrative region known as “Nord-du-Québec” such that it provided no useful indicators for Nunavik alone. Our new edition draws mostly on the most recent update of Portrait socioéconomique des régions du Québec, especially since it now contains data specifically on Nunavik. However, the content differs from our original format due to significant changes in data availability.
