- Articles and reports: 11-522-X202200100017Description: In this paper, we look for presence of heterogeneity in conducting impact evaluations of the Skills Development intervention delivered under the Labour Market Development Agreements. We use linked longitudinal administrative data covering a sample of Skills Development participants from 2010 to 2017. We apply a causal machine-learning estimator as in Lechner (2019) to estimate the individualized program impacts at the finest aggregation level. These granular impacts reveal the distribution of net impacts facilitating further investigation as to what works for whom. The findings suggest statistically significant improvements in labour market outcomes for participants overall and for subgroups of policy interest.Release date: 2024-06-28
- Articles and reports: 11-522-X202200100002Description: The authors used the Splink probabilistic linkage package developed by the UK Ministry of Justice, to link census data from England and Wales to itself to find duplicate census responses. A large gold standard of confirmed census duplicates was available meaning that the results of the Splink implementation could be quality assured. This paper describes the implementation and features of Splink, gives details of the settings and parameters that we used to tune Splink for our particular project, and gives the results that we obtained.Release date: 2024-03-25
- Articles and reports: 11-522-X202200100020Description: The reconciliation of 2021 census dwellings with the new Statistical Building Register (SBgR) presented linkage challenges. The Census of Population collected information from various dwelling types. For a large proportion of the population, mailing addresses were at the centre: they were used for reaching out to people and collected as contact info. In parallel, the register environment has been evolving. The agency is transitioning from the Address Register (AR) to the SBgR holding both mailing and location addresses, while also covering non-residential buildings. The reconciliation was conducted using a combination of systems, notably the new Register Matching Engine (RME) for difficult cases. The RME holds an interesting range of sophisticated string comparators. A deterministic linkage approach was used, while incorporating some data knowledge like the entropy. Through metadata, the matching expert could also reduce the amounts of false positives and false negatives.Release date: 2024-03-25
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202301200002Description: The validity of survival estimates from cancer registry data depends, in part, on the identification of the deaths of deceased cancer patients. People whose deaths are missed seemingly live on forever and are informally referred to as “immortals”, and their presence in registry data can result in inflated survival estimates. This study assesses the issue of immortals in the Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR) using a recently proposed method that compares the survival of long-term survivors of cancers for which “statistical” cure has been reported with that of similar people from the general population.Release date: 2023-12-20
- Articles and reports: 75F0002M2022003Description: This discussion paper describes the proposed methodology for a Northern Market Basket Measure (MBM-N) for Nunavut, as well as identifies research which could be conducted in preparation for the 2023 review. The paper presents initial MBM-N thresholds and provides preliminary poverty estimates for reference years 2018 to 2021. A review period will follow the release of this paper, during which time Statistics Canada and Employment and Social Development Canada will welcome feedback from interested parties and work with experts, stakeholders, indigenous organizations, federal, provincial and territorial officials to validate the results.Release date: 2023-06-21

This paper provides a description of the conceptual framework of the modernized system of national quality-of-life statistics that Statistics Canada is planning to implement within the next 5 to 10 years. Consistent with 50 years of dialogue on the improvement of social statistics, the conceptual framework proposes the adoption of a micro-level approach to describe how society operates and help create a cohesive and integrated system of quality-of-life statistics.
Release date: 2022-06-01 - Articles and reports: 11-633-X2021006Description:
This paper describes the current thinking at Statistics Canada about future directions in social statistics. It describes how the system of statistics on social statistics (which would be renamed quality of life statistics) will look like in the next 5 to 10 years if Statistics Canada adopts the transformative methodologies and dissemination products that are needed to meet the growing demand for more disaggregated, timely, granular, accessible and more responsive statistics on quality of life.

Statistics Canada continues to use a variety of data sources to provide neighbourhood-level variables across an expanding set of domains, such as sociodemographic characteristics, income, services and amenities, crime, and the environment. Yet, despite these advances, information on the social aspects of neighbourhoods is still unavailable. In this paper, answers to the Canadian Community Health Survey on respondents’ sense of belonging to their local community were pooled over the four survey years from 2016 to 2019. Individual responses were aggregated up to the census tract (CT) level.

Release date: 2004-10-05 - Articles and reports: 11-522-X20020016729Description:
For most survey samples, if not all, we have to deal with the problem of missing values. Missing values are usually caused by nonresponse (such as refusal of participant or interviewer was unable to contact respondent) but can also be produced at the editing step of the survey in an attempt to resolve problems of inconsistent or suspect responses. The presence of missing values (nonresponse) generally leads to bias and uncertainty in the estimates. To treat this problem, the appropriate use of all available auxiliary information permits the maximum reduction of nonresponse bias and variance. During this presentation, we will define the problem, describe the methodology that SEVANI is based on and discuss potential uses of the system. We will end the discussion by presenting some examples based on real data to illustrate the theory in practice.
In practice, it is very difficult to estimate the nonresponse bias. However, it is possible to estimate the nonresponse variance by assuming that the bias is negligible. In the last decade, many methods were indeed proposed to estimate this variance, and some of these have been implemented in the System for Estimation of Variance due to Nonresponse and Imputation (SEVANI).
The methodology used to develop SEVANI is based on the theory of two-phase sampling where we assume that the second phase of selection is nonresponse. However, contrary to two-phase sampling, an imputation or nonresponse model is required for variance estimation. SEVANI also assumes that nonresponse is treated by reweighting respondent units or by imputing their missing values. Three imputation methods are considered: the imputation of an auxiliary variable, regression imputation (deterministic or random) and nearest-neighbour imputation.

The purpose of this document is to describe the detailed methodology and assumptions behind the construction of the market basket measure (MBM) of low income. Also this document will raise some issues and highlight some data limitations related to the MBM.
The MBM represents the cost of a basket that includes a nutritious diet, clothing and footwear, shelter, transportation, and other necessary goods and services (such as personal care items or household supplies).
The MBM methodology was developed by the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Working Group on Social Development Research and Information for Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC).
