  • 10,721. The utilization of administrative records for statistical purposes Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X197800154829
    Description:

    This paper advances the case that administrative records are a powerful source of statistics and in support of this conclusion provides an overview of the extensive utilization in Canada of administrative records for statistical purposes. The paper discusses recent developments and the changing environment which are seen as major determinants of both the creation of administrative data bases as well as their utilization. The capabilities of the computer, combined with the extensive demand for statistics and the limited financial resources available to meet that demand, are seen as combining to lead to more extensive use of administrative records. A variety of problems associated with the use of administrative records is specified and the development of strategies to meet these problems and permit utilization of administrative records is described. Recent developments in Canada intended to support the use of administrative records are indicated.

  • 10,722. Some factors affecting non-response Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X197700254828
    Description: Non-response exists in any survey, but its magnitude depends upon the type of survey, the interviewers’ ability to conduct an interview, and the respondents’ motivation to respond to survey questions. This paper discusses non-response in relation to a number of household surveys and in particular the behaviour of non-response rates over time in a continuous survey such as the Canadian Labour Force Survey.

    A profile of interviewers employed by Statistics Canada shows that the correlation between non-response and a number of interviewer characteristics is not significant. Respondents themselves, and their motivation, are the key elements in an interview process and therefore in respondent relations.

    This article draws on the results of various studies conducted to investigate the effects of response burden, choice of respondent and response incentives to provide some insight into the characteristics of non-respondents.

  • 10,724. Survey of Canadian residents returning by land Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X197700254830
    Description: The distribution of questionnaires to Canadian residents returning by land from the U.S. has been substantially modified, in an effort to improve sample yield at minimal additional cost. For each border crossing ("port") involved, a systematic sample of multi-day distribution stints has been selected. The sample selection method is described, the constraints which determined it are discussed, and some preliminary data on the method’s effectiveness are presented.

  • 10,726. Synthetic estimation in periodic household surveys Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X197700254832
    Description: In periodic household surveys, area samples are usually selected in geographic strata with probability of selection of areal units proportional to population size in these units. The design-based estimates for areas composed of domains within strata can have poor precision due to cluster sampling with a few primary sampling units per stratum. In this paper, synthetic estimates are investigated as an alternative to these estimates. An empirical evaluation based on the design of the Canadian Labour Force, Survey is given.

  • 10,727. Confidentiality of statistical information Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X197700254833
    Description: The paper first identifies some of the factors which have recently made it more difficult for statistical agencies to satisfy society's growing needs for information, while at the same time reassuring respondents that their privacy is adequately protected.

    The conceptual basis of privacy is then discussed, as well as the privacy provisions of the new Canadian Human Rights Act. The paper next reviews the confidentiality provisions of Canada's Statistics Act by which the privacy rights of respondents are protected. There then follows an account of the circumstances under which the confidential treatment of corporate information is being challenged, and the way in which Statistics Canada is endeavouring to meet governmental needs for access to individual corporate returns in a foreign ownership context without prejudicing traditional confidentiality practices in mainstream statistical reporting.

    Finally, the paper notes two subjects which are likely to feature in future discussions of confidentiality: first, scholarly access to historical statistical records; and second, the possibility of future freedom of information legislation in Canada.

  • 10,728. Yukon Labour Force Survey ‒ Methodology of a feasibility study Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X197700100001
    Description: This article summarizes the findings of a study of the feasibility of an on-going labour force survey in the Yukon Territory. The major aspects of methodology considered are the choice of a sampling frame and the determination of a sample size and allocation. It is shown that area sampling would be preferable to the use of available lists, although substantial field testing would be required because of conditions particular to the Yukon. It is also observed that sampling fractions as high as 15% may be required to produce basic labour force data, because of the small population.

  • 10,729. Estimation of variance in multi-stage sampling Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X197700100002
    Description: In multi-stage sampling when selection is without replacement at the first stage, estimation of the variance of the estimate of the population total is often done assuming sampling with replacement. This estimate is biased and the degree of bias is not negligible. In this paper, a procedure which gives unbiased estimates of the variance making use of only estimated primary sampling unit totals is suggested for the case when sampling at the second and subsequent stages is simple random without replacement. This procedure is based on sub-samples drawn from the selected second and subsequent stage units.

  • 10,730. The response incentives experiment in the Canadian Labour Force Survey Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X197700100003
    Description: This paper describes the methodology of the Response Incentives Experiment which was carried out in the Canadian Labour Force Survey in order to determine the effectiveness of a response incentive on improving respondent relations and interviewer performance. Included in the paper are various results relating to non-response rates and refusal rates as well as results of an evaluation questionnaire which was completed by all interviewers at the conclusion of the experiment.
