  • Articles and reports: 11-522-X20050019440
    Description:

    For a number of years, Statistics Canada has been taking incremental steps to improve its survey programs through the use of tax data substitution, content fine tuning and earlier data releases. The approach is to focus survey collection and analysis on the large, complex enterprises where tax data is insufficient to meet the needs of the Canadian statistical system.

  • Articles and reports: 11-522-X20050019475
    Description:

    To determine and measure the impact of informativeness we compare design-based and model-based variances of estimated parameters, as well as the estimated parameters themselves, in a logistic model under the assumption that the postulated model is true. An approach for assessing the impact of informativeness is given. In order to address the additional complexity of the impact of informativeness on power, we propose a new approximation for a linear combination of non-central chi-square distributions, using generalized design effects. A large simulation study, based on generating a population under the postulated model, using parameter estimates derived from the NPHS, allows us to detect and to measure the informativeness, and to compare the robustness of studied approaches.

    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    The present review provides a description of various Canadian national survey data sets that could be used to examine issues related to child care use. National data sets dealing with patterns of employment, time use, family earnings, social support, and child, adolescent, or adult health measures were included. We conclude that numerous questions remain unanswered in terms of addressing the relationship between patterns of employment, use of child care, family roles and responsibilities, and associations with the health of families. Recommendations are made about information that has not been collected but may prove to be useful in addressing these issues. Moreover, we conclude that existing Canadian national survey data could be used to address several issues related to patterns of care use as well as the impact on children and families.

    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    In mid-September, 2005 the Science, Innovation and Electronic Information Division (SIEID) at Statistics Canada hosted a seven-day working visit by 27 Chinese statisticians, sponsored by the International Research and Development Council (IRDC). This workshop involved presentations by both Canadian and Chinese statisticians on methods and experiences in their respective science and technology (S&T) statistics programs.

  • Articles and reports: 11-522-X20030017597
    Description:

    This paper discusses the challenges Statistics Canada faces in changing its method of transferring information from paper into an electronic medium for the 2006 Census. After contracting with Lockheed Martin, data capture will change from direct data entry by humans to a system that uses optical technologies to scan, recognize, process and save most of the information, largely without human intervention.
