Canada: Aboriginal children are statistically over-represented in the foster system

April 20, 2016 by Greg Cywnar

➡ From Child Welfare Information Gateway NJ:

Canada: Aboriginal children are statistically over-represented in the foster system
Regina Leader-Post – April 18, 2016
A recent Statistics Canada report put the number much higher in 2011 — 87 per cent of foster children were aboriginal, though aboriginal children made up only 27 per cent of the child population. (Social Services’ number from that year is 70 per cent.)
