Description: Every year, Statistics Canada collects data from hundreds of surveys. As the amount of data gathered increases, Statistics Canada has introduced infographics to help people, business owners, academics, and management at all levels, understand key information derived from the data. Infographics can be used to quickly communicate a message, to simplify the presentation of large amounts of data, to see data patterns and relationships, and to monitor changes in variables over time.

These infographics will provide a quick overview of Statistics Canada survey data.

Description: 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.

Description: A major concern in large scale surveys is the problem of sub-population estimation (domain estimation). This paper presents a study of four estimators for estimating domain totals. The domain considered in the study is an area type of domain, that is, a domain consisting of a combination of a certain number of area units belonging to different strata. This paper uses some actual data and some fictitious data to compare variances and mean square errors of the four estimators.

Description: Binomial factors (sometimes called design effects) can be used to assess the quality and performance, with respect to sampling variability of survey estimates, of a sample design and estimation procedure relative to assumed simple random sample designs. In this paper four types of binomial factors have been defined and calculated for the monthly Canadian Labour Force Survey. Some results from the analysis of these factors are presented in this paper.

Description: This paper summarizes the results of a project conducted to study non-interviews in the Canadian Labour Force Survey. Temporarily absent (32.7%), no-one-home (31.4%), and refusal (25.5%) are the major components of non-response. The impact of these components to the total non-response in Surveys from July 1972 to June 1973 is discussed in detail.

A detailed analysis of refusal households showed that existing field follow-up procedures were not quite successful in reducing the refusal component. As expected, non-response was found to be related to the length of tenure of households in the sample. Non-response among households enumerated for the first time was generally higher than those households already in the sample.

Description: There are several multi-stage sample designs in various countries, such as the Current Population Survey in U.S.A., Labour Survey in Sweden, and the General Household Survey in United Kingdom. From each survey, estimated totals of Employed, Unemployed, and other characteristics may be obtained.

The Canadian Labour Force Survey is a monthly household survey in which the dwelling is the ultimate unit of sampling requiring two to four stages of selection. Each province is split up into strata and sampling units at various stages so that the sampling variance contains up to four components of variance whose actual formulae and estimation formulae are derived, utilizing those formerly derived by Yates and Grundy [12]. Ratio estimation is employed and the formulas are modified accordingly. To analyze the components of variance, it is necessary to express them in terms of components of sampling ratios and the sizes of sampling units at the various stages at provincial and national levels and approximate variance functions are thus derived.

Description: The need for regular up-dating of the selection probabilities in continuous surveys is emphasized in this paper. A simple strategy (selection method for the initial sample with the revision procedure) is presented and its application to the Canadian Labour Force Survey is discussed.

Description: This paper discusses several reinterview techniques and their use in relation to Response Variance, Response Bias, Interviewer Training, and the monitoring of various elements of the interview process. Using the Canadian Labour Force Survey as a case study the article describes how reinterview techniques were developed as the survey evolved and briefly describes the strategy being followed in the present reinterview program.

Description: Departmental Results Reports (DRRs) are part of the Estimates family of documents. Estimates documents support appropriation acts, which specify the amounts and broad purposes for which funds can be spent by the government. The Estimates document family has three parts.

Part I (Government Expenditure Plan) provides an overview of federal spending.

Part II (Main Estimates) lists the financial resources required by individual departments, agencies and Crown corporations for the upcoming fiscal year.

Part III (Departmental Expenditure Plans) consists of two documents. Departmental Plans (DPs) are expenditure plans for each appropriated department and agency (excluding Crown corporations).
