Title
Knowledge and Use of the Official Minority Language at Work by Healthcare Workers, 2001 to 2016
Abstract
A socio-demographic overview of healthcare workers who can speak or use the minority official language of their region. The authors found that healthcare workers who can speak English slightly increased in Quebec. However, being able to speak the minority language does not necessarily mean a healthcare worker can or will use that language at work. Outside of Gatineau, Montreal and Sherbrooke, only a small proportion of healthcare workers who can speak the minority language actually report using it at work. In Quebec, healthcare workers who can speak English are aging rapidly. However, unlike outside Quebec, in Quebec young healthcare workers who can speak the minority language are, by contrast, increasing both in number and proportion.
