  • 1. Out-of-pocket spending on prescription drugs Archived
    Articles and reports: 75-001-X200510913149
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    While spending on prescription drugs still constitutes less than 1% of the overall household budget, the average expenditure rose 71% between 1992 and 2002. Lack of universal coverage for prescription drugs could adversely affect seniors on fixed incomes and people with specific medical conditions. Spending is most affected by province of residence.

  • 2. Shifts in spending patterns of older Canadians Archived
    Articles and reports: 75-001-X20051128982
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    As households age and labour market attachment diminishes, income, savings and wealth generally become less. Households also become smaller as adult children leave or a spouse dies. And spending patterns change. Using 'similar' households, this study looks at changes in spending patterns for households headed by persons aged 55 or older in 1982 and 2003.

  • 3. Christmas Shopping: A Provincial Perspective Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-621-M2005034
    Geography: Canada, Province or territory
    Description:

    This article analyses Holiday retail sales in 2004 by commodity as well as by province and territory using data from the Monthly Retail Trade Survey and the Quarterly Retail Commodity Survey. Western Canadians led the country last Christmas in December 2004, with Albertans spending more per capita in retail stores than consumers in any other province. For Canada as a whole, the pace of growth in sales in stores doubled in December 2004 compared with the same month in 2003. What did shoppers buy besides toys and clothing? Jewellery, cameras and small electrical appliances were very popular gift items for the season.

  • 4. 2001 Food Expenditure Survey, Data Quality Indicators Archived
    Articles and reports: 62F0026M2005003
    Description:

    The Food Expenditure Survey (FES) is a periodic survey collecting data from households on food spending habits. Data are collected mainly using weekly diaries of purchases that the respondents must fill in daily during two consecutive weeks.

    The FES, like all surveys, is subject to error despite all the precautions taken at the various stages of the survey to control them. Although there is no exhaustive measure of a survey's data quality, certain quality measures taken at various stages of the survey can provide the user with relevant information to ensure sound data interpretation.

    This paper presents, for the 2001 FES, the following quality indicators the coefficients of variation, the non-response rates, the vacancy rates, the slippage rates, the imputation rates as well the impacts of imputation on the estimates.

  • 5. Spenders and savers Archived
    Articles and reports: 75-001-X200510313138
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    The national savings rate has been oscillating around historic lows for several years, prompting concerns about the resilience of a macro-level economy increasingly reliant on debt-financed consumer spending. Many are also troubled by the balance sheets of households, where ever-expanding debt has rapidly outpaced earnings growth. The resulting record-high, debt-to-income ratios leave households more vulnerable to interruptions in income. This article examines changes in saving and spending patterns over 20 years, and differences in the characteristics and spending patterns of saving versus spending households.

  • 6. Electronic commerce and Internet use increasing Archived
    Articles and reports: 88-003-X20050017766
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    In 2003 more Canadian households were paying for their goods and services online. Access is critical and households with a high-speed connection were more likely to be electronic commerce households. This article presents data from the Household Internet Use Survey 2003.
