- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202201200004Description: In recent years, Statistics Canada has released data and analysis on business ownership by women and persons with disabilities. Furthermore, in an effort to continue to fill the information gap on business ownership by employment equity groups and better inform policy making, Statistics Canada has released, for the first time, time series on Indigenous-owned businesses by sex of ownership and other characteristics such as age of primary owner and province of operation.Release date: 2022-12-22

This infographic features government spending data in Canada for the 2021/2022 fiscal year. It gives a breakdown of expenses by the socio-economic purpose for which the funds are used.

In recent years, Statistics Canada has made available data on business ownership by individuals in employment equity groups, namely women and persons with disabilities. However, little is known about business ownership among the other two employment equity groups, Indigenous peoples and racialized groups. This article describes the methodology used to fill the data gap on Indigenous business owners and Indigenous-owned businesses and is based on a novel linkage between the Canadian Employer–Employee Dynamics Database (2018), the Census of Population (2001, 2006, 2016) and the 2011 National Household Survey.

Using data from the Survey of Employers on Workers’ Skills, the paper examines the link between firm characteristics and the prevalence of skills gaps in the workplace and recruitment difficulties in Canada.

This study uses data from the Statistics Canada Longitudinal Worker File linked to Canadian census records to examine the impact of firm closures and involuntary job loss on entry into gig work. The analysis distinguishes between the actions of those who experienced an actual layoff associated with a firm closure and those who worked in a closing firm but did not necessarily wait until the closure (“impending layoff”).

Using administrative data, such as goods and services tax (GST) revenue, this study assesses how the recovery began to unfold in selected service industries in 2021, the second year of the pandemic, even as supply chain disruptions, labour shortages, skill gaps and inflationary pressures intensified.

This study combines simulated annealing with delta evaluation to solve the joint stratification and sample allocation problem. In this problem, atomic strata are partitioned into mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive strata. Each partition of atomic strata is a possible solution to the stratification problem, the quality of which is measured by its cost. The Bell number of possible solutions is enormous, for even a moderate number of atomic strata, and an additional layer of complexity is added with the evaluation time of each solution. Many larger scale combinatorial optimisation problems cannot be solved to optimality, because the search for an optimum solution requires a prohibitive amount of computation time. A number of local search heuristic algorithms have been designed for this problem but these can become trapped in local minima preventing any further improvements. We add, to the existing suite of local search algorithms, a simulated annealing algorithm that allows for an escape from local minima and uses delta evaluation to exploit the similarity between consecutive solutions, and thereby reduces the evaluation time. We compared the simulated annealing algorithm with two recent algorithms. In both cases, the simulated annealing algorithm attained a solution of comparable quality in considerably less computation time.

The Canadian Consumer Price Index (CPI) accounts for the sale of used vehicles by including a net expenditure weight for used vehicles in the index for the purchase of passenger vehicles. However, price changes for new cars were used as a proxy for used cars to ensure price change for this product was still covered to the best extent possible. The research paper outlines the proposed plan for introducing used vehicle prices, including data and methods. With the introduction of the 2021 CPI basket, a new approach for measuring price change in used vehicles is recommended to replace the previous method of measuring used vehicles price change by proxy.

Despite the third wave of the pandemic, the trend observed is generally positive in the first half of 2021 for several service industries. Using administrative datasets, such as the goods and services tax (GST) data, this analysis explores the impacts of the pandemic, resiliency and adaptation of a selected group of service industries by comparing GST revenue from the first half of 2021 relative to the same period in 2020.

Sample-based calibration occurs when the weights of a survey are calibrated to control totals that are random, instead of representing fixed population-level totals. Control totals may be estimated from different phases of the same survey or from another survey. Under sample-based calibration, valid variance estimation requires that the error contribution due to estimating the control totals be accounted for. We propose a new variance estimation method that directly uses the replicate weights from two surveys, one survey being used to provide control totals for calibration of the other survey weights. No restrictions are set on the nature of the two replication methods and no variance-covariance estimates need to be computed, making the proposed method straightforward to implement in practice. A general description of the method for surveys with two arbitrary replication methods with different numbers of replicates is provided. It is shown that the resulting variance estimator is consistent for the asymptotic variance of the calibrated estimator, when calibration is done using regression estimation or raking. The method is illustrated in a real-world application, in which the demographic composition of two surveys needs to be harmonized to improve the comparability of the survey estimates.
