This paper describes the main characteristics of the Canadian lumber industry, looks at the different impacts of lumber trade disputes, and puts into perspective the strong reliance of the Canadian lumber industry on the U.S. market, its biggest customer.

This publication provides a general picture of francophone literacy in Canada and discusses literacy in the context of language transfers to English. It also looks at the process of producing literacy and the literacy training of francophones, while attempting to sort out the impacts that various social and cultural factors have on literacy.

We use data from the Canadian National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth to address two questions. To what extent do parents and children agree when asked identical questions about child well-being? To what extent do differences in their responses affect what one infers from multivariate analysis of the data? The correspondence between parent and child in the assessment of child well-being is only slight to fair. Agreement is stronger for more observable outcomes, such as schooling performance, and weaker for less observable outcomes, such as emotional disorders. We regress both sets of responses on a standard set of socio-economic characteristics. We also conduct formal and informal tests of the differences in what one would infer from these two sets of regressions.

This study examines whether the gap between high-wealth families and low-wealth families increased from 1984 to 1999, using data from the Assets and Debt Survey and the Survey of Financial Security.

The Current Population Survey is the primary source of labour force data for the United States. Throughout any survey process, it is critical that data quality be ensured. This paper discusses how quality issues are addressed during all steps of the survey process, including the development of the sample frame, sampling operations, sample control, data collection, editing, imputation, estimation, questionnaire development. It also reviews the quality evaluations that are built into the survey process. The paper concludes with a discussion of current research and possible future improvements to the survey.

This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
To fill statistical gaps in the areas of health determinants, health status and health system usage by the Canadian population at the health region levels (sub-provincial areas or regions of interest to health authorities), Statistics Canada established a new survey called the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). The CCHS consists of two separate components: a regional survey in the first year and a provincial survey in the second year. The main purpose of the regional survey, for which collection took place between September 2000 and October 2001, was to produce cross-sectional estimates for 136 health regions in Canada, based on a sample of more than 134,000 respondents. This article focuses on the various measures taken at the time of data collection to ensure a high level of quality for this large-scale survey.

This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
Conducting a census by traditional methods is becoming more difficult. The possibility of cross-linking administrative files provides an attractive alternative to conducting periodic censuses (Laihonen, 2000; Borchsenius, 2000). This method was proposed in a recent article by Nathan (2001). The Institut National de la Statistique et des Études Économiques (INSEE) census redesign is based on the idea of a "continuous census," originally suggested by Kish (1981, 1990) and Horvitz (1986). The first approach, which could be feasible in France, can be found in Deville and Jacod's paper (1996). This particular article reviews the methodological developments and approaches used since INSEE started its population census redesign program.

In surveys where interviewers need a high degree of specialist knowledge and training, one is often forced to make do with a small number of highly trained people, each having a high case load. It is well known that this can lead to interviewer variability having a relatively large impact on the total error, particularly for estimates of simple quantities such as means and proportions. In a previous paper (Davis and Scott, 1995) the impact for continuous responses was looked at using a linear components of variance model. However, most responses in health questionnaires are binary and it is known that this approach results in underestimating the intra-cluster and intra-interviewer correlations for binary responses. In this paper,a multi-level binary model is used to explore the impact of interviewer variability on estimated proportions.

This paper addresses pay differentials between the sexes in terms of the characteristics of the individual worker, the tasks of the worker, the employment contract between the worker and the workplace, and the contribution of specific workplace characteristics to these pay differentials.
