  • 1. Sample Rotation for the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics Archived
    Articles and reports: 75F0002M1992003
    Description:

    As SLID is a longitudinal survey, it is desirable to retain respondents in the sample for as long as possible. However, sample attrition and changes in the popu lation result in the sample becoming less representative of the population as time passes. To balance these factors, the sample for a longitudinal survey may be comprised of panels, with each panel being representative of the target population. Starting with a fixed sample size, the paper examines feasible options for the number of panels in the sample and the length of time which each panel remains in the survey. The rationale for the selected option is reviewed.

  • 2. Computer-assisted interviewing in a decentralised environment: The case of household surveys at Statistics Canada Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X19970023614
    Description:

    In 1993, Statistics Canada implemented Computer-assisted Interviewing (CAI) for conducting interviews for some household surveys that were conducted in a decentralised environment. The technology has been successfully used for a number of years, and most household surveys have now been converted to this collection mode. This paper is a summary of the experience and the lessons that have been learned since the research started. It described some of the tests that led to the implementation of the technology, and some of the new opportunities that have arisen with its implementation. It also discusses some challenges that were faced when CAI was implemented (some are on-going issues), and ends with a brief overview of where this may lead us in the future.

  • 3. Some Data Quality Impacts When Merging Survey Data on Income with Tax Data Archived
    Articles and reports: 75F0002M1996012
    Description:

    This paper gives an overview of the different sources of errors that occur with this methodology and presents some results on the impact of this mixed approach. The research has focused on micro-comparisons and has attempted to quantify the impact on measures of change.

    Release date: 1997-12-31
  • 4. Selection of a Top up Sample for Cross-sectional Income Estimates Archived
    Articles and reports: 75F0002M1997004
    Description:

    This paper sets out a number of summary analyses that support the recommendation to draw a top up sample in the integration of Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) and Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) data.

  • 5. Calculation of Family Income for SLID Archived
    Articles and reports: 75F0002M1994013
    Description:

    This paper presents three options for the calculation of the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) family income: the snapshot approach, the prorated approach and the subannual approach.

    Release date: 1995-12-30
  • 6. Measuring Non-response in a Longitudinal Survey: The Experience of the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics Archived
    Articles and reports: 75F0002M1994016
    Description:

    This paper presents various data quality measures proposed for the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID), including wave and panel response rates and measures of the characteristics of non-respondents.

    Release date: 1995-12-30
  • 7. Measurement Issues in the Reporting of Unemployment Insurance Archived
    Articles and reports: 75F0002M1994017
    Description:

    This study compares the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) respondents reporting of their receipt of unemployment insurance benefits in a 1993 field test with the benchmark of what was reported on their income tax form.

    Release date: 1995-12-30
  • 8. Dependent Interviewing: Impact on Recall and on Labour Market Transitions Archived
    Articles and reports: 75F0002M1995006
    Description:

    This paper evaluates the effects of dependent interviewing on the 1994 Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) labour data using some early results.

    Release date: 1995-12-30
  • 9. Combining Administrative and Survey Data to Reduce Respondent Burden in Longitudinal Surveys Archived
    Articles and reports: 75F0002M1995019
    Description:

    This paper examines the situation where respondent burden is reduced by giving respondents the choice to use administrative data to replace survey data. It also looks at the predicted impact of this mixed collection method on response and data quality, and discusses related measurement issues.

  • 10. Comparison of weighting and imputation methods for estimating unsampled data Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X198600214451
    Description:

    The Canadian Census of Construction (COC) uses a complex plan for sampling small businesses (those having a gross income of less than $750,000). Stratified samples are drawn from overlapping frames. Two subsamples are selected independently from one of the samples, and more detailed information is collected on the businesses in the subsamples. There are two possible methods of estimating totals for the variables collected in the subsamples. The first approach is to determine weights based on sampling rates. A number of different weights must be used. The second approach is to impute values to the businesses included in the sample but not in the subsamples. This approach creates a complete “rectangular” sample file, and a single weight may then be used to produce estimates for the population. This “large-scale imputation” technique is presently applied for the Census of Construction. The purpose of the study is to compare the figures obtained using various estimation techniques with the estimates produced by means of large-scale imputation.

  • You can delete some or all of the keywords from your search string.

  • Quotes around keywords limit the search to a specific phrase.

    • For example, “labour force survey” will limit results to products containing this phrase.

  • Use “or” between keywords to obtain results that contain one or more search terms.

    • For example, labour or­ force or survey will limit results to products containing any or all of these words.

How does the search work?

  • This search looks for results that have your query term in the title, description, subject, geography, product number or other information about the product.

    • For example, when searching the term ‘Diseases’, all results with the word ‘Diseases’ in the title, description or tagged the subject appear.

  • The text within an article or publication are not searched. For full text searching of articles, use the site search.
