- 1. Low Income Cut-offs ArchivedJournals and periodicals: 13-551-XDescription:
Low income cut-offs (LICOs) are intended to convey the income level at which a family may be in straitened circumstances because it has to spend a greater portion of its income on the basics (food, clothing and shelter) than does the average family of similar size. The LICOs vary by family size and by size of community.
This publication provides a brief explanation of how the LICOs are derived and updated annually. In addition, it provides on a historical basis, LICOs for different family sizes by size of area of residence. LICOs are calculated based on the spending patterns of families on basic 'necessities' - food, shelter and clothing - as collected from the Survey of Household Spending (formerly referred to as the Family Expenditure Survey (FAMEX)).
Release date: 1999-12-10 - 2. Characteristics of Dual-earner Families ArchivedTable: 13-215-XGeography: CanadaDescription:
This annual publication presents detailed tabulations on income of two-spouse families. It highlights families where both spouses work for pay by exploring their income and related characteristics and comparing them with other two-spouse families where only one spouse, or neither spouse, receives earnings from employment.
Release date: 1999-09-10 - Table: 13-582-XDescription:
The electronic publication "Low income measures (LIMs)" presents low income statistics, based on annual Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) data, utilizing the LIMs for estimation of the low income population. LIMs are one alternative to the traditional low income cut-offs (LICOs) for prevalence, depth and composition of the low income population.
Release date: 1999-08-25 - Table: 13F0019XDescription:
This report contains three alternate sets (1980 to present) of historical low income lines to the traditional "Low income cut-offs" (LICOs). The first set, "Low income measures" (LIMs), are set at one-half median adjusted family before-tax income, where "adjusted" indicates a consideration of different needs for families of varying size. The second and third sets are lines on an after-tax basis, using the LICO and LIM methodologies.
Release date: 1999-08-25 - 5. Comparative Study of Analytical Consumer Price Indexes for Different Subgroups of the Reference Population ArchivedArticles and reports: 62F0014M1998013Geography: CanadaDescription:
The reference population for the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has been represented, since the 1992 updating of the basket of goods and services, by families and unattached individuals living in private urban or rural households. The official CPI is a measure of the average percentage change over time in the cost of a fixed basket of goods and services purchased by Canadian consumers.
Because of the broadly defined target population of the CPI, the measure has been criticised for failing to reflect the inflationary experiences of certain socio-economic groups. This study examines this question for three sub-groups of the reference population of the CPI. It is an extension of earlier studies on the subject done at Statistics Canada.
In this document, analytical consumer price indexes sub-group indexes are compared to the analytical index for the whole population calculated at the national geographic level.
The findings tend to point to those of earlier Statistics Canada studies on sub-groups in the CPI reference population. Those studies have consistently concluded that a consumer price index established for a given sub-group does not differ substantially from the index for the whole reference population.
