Equality, security and community (ESC), wave 1, 2000-2001

A national study exploring the economic, social and political factors that shape public policy, and how these policies determine societal values, attitudes and well-being among individuals and communities.

The survey component was designed to profile information, for a sample of Canadians, on their social networks, well-being (including employment status, occupation, income, economic security, education, health, etc.), participation in civil society (group memberships, volunteer activities, and charitable giving, voting, political party identification), their attitudes towards their role and efficacy of the state, support or opposition for government, and other existing or possible public policies.

All research based upon these data must include an acknowledgement such as the following:
