Mind the Gap:
Mental Health Disparities Across Canada's Employment Sectors
Mental health in the workplace is not just a personal concern; it is a core driver of productivity, innovation, and economic stability.
Mental health challenges exist in every sector, but which ones have the widest gaps between mental health needs and access to support? This report examines the current state of mental health across different sectors of the Canadian economy, and offers practical guidance for employers, policymakers, and Canadians to build healthier, stronger workplaces now and for the future.
ABOUT THE REPORT
The data in this report draws on MHRC data from the national population polling initiative, “Understanding the Mental Health of Canadians”.
To compare workplace mental health across employment sectors, we grouped survey participants based on the 2022 NAICS industry classification.
