- 1. Differences in Income Estimates for Persons ArchivedArticles and reports: 75F0002M1997002Description:
This report compares income estimates obtained from a number of different surveys. The primary data sources are: the census, the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), the Survey of Labour & Income Dynamics (SLID), the Revenue Canada Individual Tax Returns and National Accounts Personal Income.
Release date: 1997-12-31 - 2. Trickling Down or Fizzling Out? Economic Performance, Transfers, Inequality and Low Income ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0019M1997110Geography: CanadaDescription:
The objectives of this paper are to determine the empirical relationships between economic performance, transfers and low income among Canadian families, and to explore whether these relationships have changed over time. Similar recent studies in the US find a weakening in the relationship between economic growth and low income reduction over the past 25 years. Using data from the Survey of Consumer Finances of Statistics Canada, we find that there is a statistically significant negative relationship between economic performance and the incidence of low income among families in Canada for the period from 1973 to 1995. Government transfers are also found to lift families above the low income threshold. These results are robust across different family types and for three different measures of low income.
We also find a weakening in the relationship between improved economic performance and low income reduction for most family types between 1973 and 1995, and for all family types after 1980. This weakening is associated with rising pre-transfer income inequality among families. Increasing inequality has also reduced the negative impact of transfers on low income rates.
