New data sets at the RDC: 

Survey on Savings for Persons with Disabilities (SSPD) 

The purpose of the Survey on Savings for Persons with Disabilities is to gather information about the knowledge and behaviours of Canadians with disabilities and their caregivers with regard to savings.

To understand why more eligible residents in Canada do not have a Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP), Employment and Social Development Canada asked Statistics Canada to conduct the Survey on Savings for Persons with Disabilities. Its goal was to collect data from residents in Canada who were eligible for an RDSP but did not open one.These respondents included both persons with disabilities and family members or others who care for persons with disabilities.
