Sample design of the Family Expenditure Survey (1974)
Articles and reports: 12-001-X197500100003Description: In order to monitor changes in expenditure patterns and, if necessary, provide information for a reweighting of the Consumer Price Index, family expenditure surveys have been carried out at approximately two year intervals since 1953. While all of the Family Expenditure Surveys have utilized the Canadian Labour Force Survey [1] frame, the particular survey in 1974 was designed somewhat differently from earlier surveys in that segments or city blocks were specially selected for the survey and there was strict control on the sample size not adhered to in earlier surveys. The sample design, from the considerations based on the broad requirements of the survey to the details of the sampling procedures, is described in this article.
