abstract: 'Objective Food insecurity, lack of access to food due to financial
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
constraints, is highly associated with poor health outcomes. Households
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dependent on social assistance are at increased risk of experiencing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
food insecurity, but food insecurity has also been reported in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
households reporting their main source of income from employment/wages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(working households). The objective of the present study was to examine
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the correlates of food insecurity among households reliant on employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
income.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Design Working households reporting food insecurity were studied through
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analysis of the Canadian Community Health Survey, 2007-2008, employing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
descriptive statistics and logistic regression. Food insecurity was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
measured using the Household Food Security Survey Module; all provinces
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Setting Canada.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Subjects Canadian households where main income was derived through
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labour force participation. Social assistance recipients were excluded.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results For the period 2007-2008, 4 \% of working households reported
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
food insecurity. Canadian households reliant on primary earners with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
less education and lower incomes were significantly more likely to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
experience food insecurity; these differences were accentuated across
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
some industry sectors. Residence in Quebec was protective. Working
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
households experiencing food insecurity were more likely to include
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earners reporting multiples jobs and higher job stress. Visible minority
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workers with comparable education levels experienced higher rates of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
food insecurity than European-origin workers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusions Reliance on employment income does not eliminate food
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
insecurity for a significant proportion of households, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disproportionately so for households with racialized minority workers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Increases in work stress may increase the susceptibility to poor health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outcomes of workers residing in households reporting food insecurity.'
