Socioeconomic correlates of loneliness among immigrants with disabilities / by Maciej Karpinski, Christoph Schimmele, Allison Leanage, Jing Shen and Rubab Arim.: CS36-28-0001/2026-4-4E-PDF

"This study examines socioeconomic correlates of loneliness among immigrants with disabilities, using data from the 2022 Canadian Survey on Disability. The findings show that the association between socioeconomic circumstances and severe loneliness differed between immigrants and Canadian-born persons with disabilities. Employment or school participation provided immigrants with disabilities less protection from severe loneliness than it did for Canadian born persons with disabilities. For both groups, food insecurity and core housing need were associated with a higher probability of severe loneliness; however, these associations were stronger for immigrants with disabilities. Immigrants with disabilities had a higher probability of severe loneliness than their Canadian-born counterparts, even in absence of food insecurity, core housing need and low income. Overall, the findings highlight the complex interplay between socioeconomic circumstances and emotional well being among immigrants with disabilities and point to the need for targeted supports that address the unique vulnerabilities of this population"--Abstract, page 1.
