“…Salary was shown to be slightly more important for men than for women in this survey which is in contrast to previous research which indicates that salary is more important for women (M. K. Poppel, 2015;Quintal-Marineau, 2017). It has also been argued that wage-work is an important factor to finance subsistence activities (Kruse et al, 2008;PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 2003) which could play a role in men perceiving salary to be more important in this survey.…”

“…The survey also showed that 43% of male respondents were employed between 0-12 months compared to 27% of the female respondents. While gender difference was not mentioned explicitly by the employers, this finding matches scholarly literature which discusses a gender difference in employment and the need for increased focus on the importance of wage-work for women (M. K. Poppel, 2015;Quintal-Marineau, 2017). If men move around more and shift jobs more often then more women working would provide households with a more stable income which could also play into women's perception of the importance of their salary level (ibid.).…”

“…While there has been significant research on the meeting of different cultures at workplaces in other regions with Inuit communities (Gad, 2009;Lévesque & Duhaime, 2017;PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 2003;Quintal-Marineau, 2017;Stern, 2001;Wihak, 2005), few studies exist regarding Greenland (Kahlig, 2000;Langgård, 2005;Møller, 2011). We know from scholarly literature that the encounter of cultures in Greenland has moved to workplaces and companies and is much more complex than a simple distinction between Inuit and Western values.…”

“…Moreover, Quintal-Marineau (2017) argues that gender plays a crucial role when explaining wage-work relations in Nunavut, by finding that wage-work is more important for the identity of female Inuit (Quintal-Marineau, 2017). With traditional activities like hunting and fishing mostly being a field dominated by men, this is an important consideration.…”

Objectives Country (traditional) foods are integral to Inuit culture, but market food consumption is increasing. The Qanuilirpitaa? 2017 Nunavik Health Survey (Q2017) reported similar country food consumption frequency compared to that in 2004; however, examining food items individually does not account for diet patterns, food accessibility, and correlations between food items. Our objective was to identify underlying dietary profiles and compare them across sex, age, ecological region, and food insecurity markers, given the links among diet, health, and sociocultural determinants. Methods Food frequency and sociodemographic data were derived from the Q2017 survey (N = 1176). Latent profile analysis identified dietary profiles using variables for the relative frequencies of country and market food consumption first, followed by an analysis with those for country food variables only. Multinomial logistic regression examined the associations among dietary profiles, sociodemographic factors, and food insecurity markers (to disassociate between food preferences and food access). Results Four overall dietary profiles and four country food dietary profiles were identified characterized by the relative frequency of country and market food in the diet. The patterns were stable across several sensitivity analyses and in line with our Inuit partners’ local knowledge. For the overall profiles, women and adults aged 30–49 years were more likely to have a market food–dominant profile, whereas men and individuals aged 16–29 and 50+ years more often consumed a country food–dominant profile. In the country food profiles, Inuit aged 16–29 years were more likely to have a moderate country food profile whereas Inuit aged 50+ were more likely to have a high country food–consumption profile. A low country and market food–consumption profile was linked to higher prevalence of food insecurity markers. Conclusion We were able to identify distinct dietary profiles with strong social patterning. The profiles elucidated in this study are aligned with the impact of colonial influence on diet and subsequent country food promotion programs for Inuit youth. These profiles will be used for further study of nutritional status, contaminant exposure, and health to provide context for future public health programs.
