Abstract

This study analyzes the polarization of perceptions of social problems in Canada to assess if social issues polarization was an element of the environment (Hodgetts, 1964). We analyzed data from the Canadian Election Study collected between 1993 and 2021. We compare urban university-educated and rural non-university-educated Canadians' opinions regarding their perceptions of certain social problems in Canada. Our results show that there are some disagreements between the two groups. However, the data and methods used do not allow us to confirm a trend towards polarization. Polarization over social problems is not yet shaping Canadian public administrations.

加拿大公共服务部门是否应该担心对社会问题看法的两极分化？

本研究分析了加拿大社会问题认知的两极分化，以评估社会问题两极分化是否是环境的一个要素（Hodgetts，1964 年）。我们分析了 1993 年至 2021 年间收集的加拿大选举研究数据。我们比较了受过大学教育的城市加拿大人和未受过大学教育的农村加拿大人对加拿大某些社会问题的看法。结果显示，两个群体之间存在一些分歧。然而，我们所使用的数据和方法并不能证实两极分化的趋势。社会问题的两极分化尚未影响加拿大的公共管理。
