The Issue
Data sets that represent Canada's diverse populations generally do not represent Muslims, and are not useful for uncovering key issues facing Muslim communities.
The Project Objective
Develop large-scale, representative data sets on Canada’s diverse Muslim populations to more accurately identify key issues Muslim communities face in Canada. A higher resolution understanding of Canada's Muslims communities enables more effective discussions about the policies and decisions that affect Muslims in Canada.
Project Leads
- Anver Emon
- Sarah Shah
- Abdie Kazemipur
Status
MiCDI is currently developing a 1000 Muslim-household survey for its inaugural Study of Muslims in Canada (SMiC). The survey will be collecting responses in mid-2023.
