- Articles and reports: 12-001-X199100214502Description:
A sample design for the initial selection, sample rotation and updating for sub-annual business surveys is proposed. The sample design is a stratified clustered design, with the stratification being carried out on the basis of industry, geography and size. Sample rotation of the sample units is carried out under time-in and time-out constraints. Updating is with respect to the selection of births (new businesses), removal of deaths (defunct businesses) and implementation of changes in the classification variables used for stratification, i.e. industry, geography and size. A number of alternate estimators, including the simple expansion estimator and Mickey’s (1959) unbiased ratio-type estimator have been evaluated for this design in an empirical study under various survey conditions. The problem of variance estimation has also been considered using the Taylor linearization method and the jackknife technique.
Release date: 1991-12-16 - 2. RDD panel attrition in two local area surveys ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X199100214506Description:
This paper compares the magnitude and nature of attrition in two separate RDD panel surveys conducted in the City of Chicago (i.e. the surveys were independent studies and were not conducted as part of a planned experiment), each with a between-wave lag of approximately one year. For each survey, sampling at Wave 1 was performed via one-stage (i.e. simple) random-digit dialing. In Study 1, respondents’ names were not elicited; thus, when telephone calls were made at Wave 2 of Study 1 interviewers could not ask for respondents by name. Instead, interviewers asked for respondents by using a gender-age identifier. In Study 2, respondent name identifiers were gathered during Wave 1 and were used in Wave 2 re-contact attempts. The magnitude of the attrition in Study 1 (i.e. the proportion of Wave 1 respondents not re-interviewed at Wave 2) was 47%, whereas in Study 2 it was 43%: a marginal difference in attrition rates. In both surveys, age, race, education and income were significantly related to attrition. Discussion is presented on the trade-off between minimizing attrition vs. minimizing respondent reactivity as potential sources of total survey error. Suggestions for decreasing the size of attrition in RDD panel surveys are discussed.
Release date: 1991-12-16 - 3. On non-wage labour income ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X199100439Geography: CanadaDescription:
Non-wage benefits now represent 10% of a worker's total compensation package. Which industries offer the highest supplementary benefits, and how are they funded?
Release date: 1991-12-02 - 4. Family income inequality in the 1980s ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X199100352Geography: CanadaDescription:
Are the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer? This article studies the growth of family income and the distribution of after-tax income in the 1980s.
Release date: 1991-09-05 - 5. Retirement attitudes, plans and behaviour ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X199100367Geography: CanadaDescription:
As the Canadian population ages, the issues of retirement and pensions become increasingly important. The 1989 General Social Survey results are examined with a focus on Canadians opinions towards mandatory retirement, their retirement plans and pensions.
Release date: 1991-09-05 - 6. Computers in the workplace [1989] ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X199100266Geography: CanadaDescription:
Focusing primarily on office automation, this article details the presence of computers at work and how Canadian workers are affected by increased automation. Attitudes to computers at work are also examined.
