- Articles and reports: 11-010-X20050128972Geography: CanadaDescription:
A profile of the fastest-growing sector in wholesale trade.
Release date: 2005-12-08 - Articles and reports: 11-008-X20050038966Geography: CanadaDescription:
Studies of the postsecondary attainment of young adults are informative, but it is also useful to examine the educational aspirations of teenagers. Such studies profile the value placed on different types of formal education by youth as well as perceived opportunities for upward occupational mobility. This article explores the educational aspirations of 15-year-old visible minority immigrant students and compares them with those of Canadian-born youth who are not part of a visible minority group. It then identifies the most important factors that explain the large ethnocultural differences in university aspirations.
Release date: 2005-12-06 - 3. Methodological challenges in a survey on the ethnic and cultural diversity of the Canadian population ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X20040018734Geography: CanadaDescription:
The Ethnic Diversity Survey generated methodological challenges like choosing the sampling plan, developing the questionnaire, collecting the data, weighting the data and estimating the variance.
Release date: 2005-10-27 - Articles and reports: 11-522-X20040018745Description:
The testing of questionnaires with specialized populations such as Aboriginal people, homosexuals, bisexuals, children, victims of abuse brings challenges: identifying respondents, testing methodology, location of testing, respondent rapport and trust.
Release date: 2005-10-27 - Articles and reports: 11-522-X20040018748Description:
Given the small numbers of Aboriginal people, survey sample sizes are usually too small to permit sufficient analysis of these small groups. This paper discusses efforts that are being made by the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics in this regard.
Release date: 2005-10-27 - Articles and reports: 11-522-X20040018751Description:
This paper examines how adaptive sampling methods might be used to extend current national health surveys to enable effective tracking and monitoring of new forms of health threats and trace exposed persons.
Release date: 2005-10-27 - Articles and reports: 11-522-X20040018752Description:
This paper outlines some possible applications of the permanent sample of households ready to respond with respect to surveying difficult-to-reach population groups.
Release date: 2005-10-27 - 8. Trends in the technology intensity of Canadian exports: A comparison with other countries (III-G) ArchivedStats in brief: 11F0024M20050008661Description:
Canada has reached its innovation-driven stage of development where the country's global competitiveness is critically linked to its ability to rapidly shift to new innovative technologies and to generate high rates of innovation and commercialization of those technologies. The country has made significant progress in terms of the growth of high- and medium-high technology-intensive exports in the last few decades. The share of high- and medium-high-technology manufacturing industries' products in our total exports has increased from 32.1% in 1980 to 44% in 2002, while our dependence on low- and medium-low technology products has shrunk from 48.0% of total exports in 1980 to 41% in 2002. This paper utilizes Statistics Canada data for the period 1980-2003 to examine trends in the technology intensity of Canada's exports. Trends in the revealed comparative advantage as well as the structural trade balance for technology-intensive goods are also examined. The analyses in the paper show that Canada has made some gains in its relative competitive position in the world trade of high- and medium-high technology goods.
Release date: 2005-10-20 - 9. Canadian Tourism Satellite Account, 2000 ArchivedArticles and reports: 13-604-M2005048Description:
This paper highlights the new Canadian Tourism Satellite Accounts (CTSA) developed by Statistics Canada. The CTSA provides an economic measure of the importance of tourism in terms of expenditures, Gross Domestic Product and employment for Canada. It permits a comparison of tourism with other industries within Canada since the concepts and methods used are based on the framework of the Canadian System of National Accounts. The study revealed that the importance of tourism increased in Canada and that international visitors have become increasingly more important to Canadian tourism since the publication of the first Tourism Satellite Account for the year 1988. This paper presents the results of the CTSA for reference year 2000.
Release date: 2005-10-03 - 10. South Asians in Canada: Unity through diversity ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X20050028455Geography: CanadaDescription:
Numbering 917,000 in 2001, South Asians were the second largest visible minority group in Canada, just behind the Chinese at slightly over one million people. The South Asian community is one of the most diverse visible minority groups, consisting of a range of ethnic, religious and linguistic groups whose ancestries, immigration histories and personal experiences are quite varied. Using data from the 2002 Ethnic Diversity Survey (EDS) and the 2001 Census of Population, this article examines the diversity of the South Asian population in Canada, traces their history in this country and looks at how their ethnic and cultural backgrounds are reflected in their everyday lives.

Release date: 2005-09-13 - Articles and reports: 12-001-X20050018083Description:
The advent of computerized record linkage methodology has facilitated the conduct of cohort mortality studies in which exposure data in one database are electronically linked with mortality data from another database. This, however, introduces linkage errors due to mismatching an individual from one database with a different individual from the other database. In this article, the impact of linkage errors on estimates of epidemiological indicators of risk such as standardized mortality ratios and relative risk regression model parameters is explored. It is shown that the observed and expected number of deaths are affected in opposite direction and, as a result, these indicators can be subject to bias and additional variability in the presence of linkage errors.
