Variable descriptions
icswt26 - Regular cross-sectional weight
- Type and length: Decimal(10.4) Format: 99999.9999
- Description: Regular cross-sectional weight. Persons in the same household have the same value. For estimates of persons, the weight is counted once for each person in the household. For estimates of families or households, the weight is counted once for each family or household. Most recent revisions: With the release of data for 2003, the weights were revised for 1990 to 2002. With the release of data for 2004, the weights were revised for 2003.
- Population: All persons

Range and codes:
- 00000.0000:99999.9999
ilbwt26 - Cross-sectional labour weight for person
- Type and length: Decimal(10.4) Format: 99999.9999
- Description: Cross-sectional weight for the person, adjusted for non-response to questions on non-income variables such as labour market activity and education. It is adjusted for more cases of non-response than is the regular cross-sectional weight (ICSWT26), thereby minimizing the percentage of persons with missing values ("Don't know") after weighting. Nonetheless, there is still a relatively high proportion of missing values, because weight status is determined at the household level in SLID, rather than at the individual level. Most recent revisions: With the release of data for 2003, the weights were revised for 1990 to 2002. With the release of data for 2004, the weights were revised for 2003.

ilgwt26 - Longitudinal weight for person
- Type and length: Decimal(10.4) Format: 99999.9999
- Description: Longitudinal weight for the person. Applicable to one panel of respondents. Most recent revisions: With the release of data for 2003, the weights were revised for 1990 to 2002. With the release of data for 2004, the weights were revised for 2003.

ilwcp26 - Combined-panel longitudinal weight for the person
- Type and length: Decimal(10.4) Format: 99999.9999
-
Description:
Longitudinal weight for the person which takes
into account the respondents of the two panels
combined. Most recent revisions: With the release
of data for 2003, the weights were revised for
1990 to 2002. With the release of data for 2004,
the weights were revised for 2003. For information

" Combined-panel longitudinal weighting, Survey
of Labour and Income Dynamics" by Jean-François
Naud. Statistics Canada Catalogue no. 75F0002MIE,
