- 1. Moving to be better off ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X19990034789Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article draws a brief profile of Canadians who move to improve their quality of life.
Release date: 1999-12-09 - Articles and reports: 11-008-X19990034790Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article compares some selected indicators of psychological and social well-being for married seniors in poor health with those for seniors in good health. It also examines whether the well-being of partners is affected by their spouse's health.
Release date: 1999-12-09 - 3. Purchasing Power Parities and Real Expenditures, United States and Canada - An Update to 1998 ArchivedStats in brief: 13-604-M1999036Description:
Recent economic trends, including expanding globalization of trade (as evidenced by new trade agreements), volatility in market exchange rates, and greater interest in international comparisons of real income and productivity are generating increased interest in intercountry comparisons. These comparisons are made in real terms derived from purchasing power parities (PPPs). In Canada, a particularly important relationship with the United States focusses attention on US/Canada comparative price and volume measures. This article includes updated annual bilateral volume indexes of real gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and its components for the United States, compared with Canada, and the associated PPPs.
Release date: 1999-11-30 - 4. Passenger transportation in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 87-403-X19970014746Geography: CanadaDescription:
Vast distances, dependence on trade and low population density (compared to the United States and Europe) make transportation vitally important in Canada. The nation's travel and tourism patterns, both domestically and internationally, are a mirror image of Canadian business, lifestyles and quality of life.
Release date: 1999-11-24 - 5. Neighbourhood affluence and school readiness ArchivedArticles and reports: 81-003-X19990014701Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines the influences of neighbourhood and family socio-economic characteristics on children's readiness to start school. It uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY).
Release date: 1999-10-12 - 6. Poisson mixture sampling: A family of designs for coordinated selection using permanent random numbers ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X19990014707Description:
This paper introduces Poisson Mixture sampling, a family of sampling designs so named because each member of the family is a mixture of two Poisson sampling designs, Poisson nps sampling and Bernoulli sampling. These two designs are at opposite ends of a continuous spectrum, indexed by a continuous parameter. Poisson Mixture sampling is conceived for use with the highly skewed populations often arising in business surveys. It gives the statistician a range of different options for the extent of the sample coordination and the control of response burden. Some Poisson Mixture sampling designs give considerably more precise estimates than the usual Poisson nps sampling. This result is noteworthy, because Poisson nps is in itself highly efficient, assuming it is based on a strong measure of size.
Release date: 1999-10-08 - 7. Toward variances for X-11 seasonal adjustments ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X19990014709Description:
We develop an approach to estimating variances for X-11 seasonal adjustments that recognizes the effects of sampling error and errors from forecast extension. In our approach, seasonal adjustment error in the central values of a sufficiently long series results only from the effect of the X-11 filtering on the sampling errors. Towards either end of the series, we also recognize the contribution to seasonal adjustment error from forecast and backcast errors. We extend the approach to produce variances of errors in X-11 trend estimates, and to recognize error in estimation of regression coefficients used to model, e.g., calendar effects. In empirical results, the contribution of sampling error often dominated the seasonal adjustment variances. Trend estimate variances, however, showed large increases at the ends of series due to the effects of fore/backcast error. Nonstationarities in the sampling errors produced striking patterns in the seasonal adjustment and trend estimate variances.
Release date: 1999-10-08 - 8. Some issues in the estimation of income dynamics ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X19990014716Description:
Two design-based estimators of gross flows and transition rates are considered. One makes use of the cross-sectional samples for the estimation of the income class boundaries at each time period and the longitudinal sample for the estimation of counts of units in the longitudinal population (longitudinal counts); this is the mixed estimator. The other one is entirely based on the longitudinal sample, both for the estimation of the class boundaries and the longitudinal counts; this is the longitudinal estimator. We compare the two estimators in the presence of large attrition rates, by means of a simulation. We find that under a less than perfect model of compensation for attrition, the mixed estimator is usually more sensitive to model bias than the longitudinal estimator. Furthermore, we find that for the mixed estimator, the magnitude of this bias overshadows the small gain in precision when compared to the longitudinal estimator. The results are illustrated with data from the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics and the Longitudinal Administrative Database of Statistics Canada.
Release date: 1999-10-08 - 9. Alternative measures for youth in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 85-002-X19990088302Geography: CanadaDescription:
In Canada, diversion is an alternative to the formal court process which is available to persons in conflict with the law. Diversion can take two forms: police discretion or alternative measures. Alternative measures aim to divert persons accused of less serious offences out of the formal justice system. Alternative measures programs provide these persons with the opportunity to avoid the consequences of having a criminal record, while holding them accountable in a manner which is visible to the community. The purpose of this Juristat is to provide descriptive information on policies and procedures, as well as quantitative information on the administration of alternative measures for young persons in Canada.
Release date: 1999-06-29 - 10. Literacy in the workplace [1994] ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19990024604Geography: CanadaDescription:
Previous studies of the job skills gap have focused on the problem of workers with literacy deficits. Yet, in terms of the costs to individuals, firms and the national economy, literacy surplus (or underemployment) is equally important. This article examines the "fit" or "mismatch" between job requirements and workers' literacy skills, profiling patterns of literacy use and under-use in the labour market. (Adapted from a report published by Statistics Canada and Human Resources Development Canada.)
