Canadian Council on Social Development Reports

Canadian Council on Social Development website
CCSD is committed to producing thoughtful and thought-provoking work on our social challenges of the day. We believe this is the only way to build informed understanding and discussion about these key issues, and social consensus on the ways forward. This information helps form a baseline for moving toward actionable solutions on the ground.

• Research
  The CCSD research team specializes in social, economic, labour market and demographic issues, and provides statistical and analytical research services to our clients. Many of our Popular Reports and Publications are available online as well as our Policy Initiatives, and a selection of back issues of Perception Magazine.

• Community Analytics
  Given the limited capacity within the community sector to analyze complex data sets, CCSD has developed a new fee-based service called Community Analytics. CCSD Community Analytics offers a range of services, drawing on CCSD’s extensive data holdings and expertise in generating, analyzing and producing custom data products through its network of over 6,000 partners across the country.

• Social Report Series
  The Social Development Report Series is an essential tool that provides an understanding of how geography, history and politics have created various approaches to community building across our country.

  • Quality of Life Reporting System
