Uses data from the 2012 Aboriginal peoples survey to assess several socio-demographic characteristics of Indigenous people living off-reserve and receiving income assistance (IA). Findings indicate that 12% of Indigenous people living off-reserve receive IA, and that receipt of IA is highly associated with precarity of work, being female, having less than a high school education, and having significantly poorer mental and physical health.
