Note 1.

The participation rate in education reflects the total enrolment in an elementary/high school, college, or university as a percentage of the total population for each age. Includes full- and part-time students who were taking a "credit course"; i.e., a course or program of instruction that could be counted towards a degree, certificate or diploma. The number of students is based on a monthly average from September to April.

Note 2.

Captures public and private educational establishments: elementary, junior high school, high school or equivalent; community college, junior college or CEGEP; and university. Other types of schools, such as private institutes or vocational or secretarial schools, are excluded from the numerators for the totals.

Note 3.

Labour Force Survey (LFS) estimates for Canada are derived using results from the provinces; the territories are excluded.

Notes: As of January 2011, Labour Force Survey (LFS) estimates reflect population counts based on the 2006 Census, as well as updates to industry, occupation and geography classification systems. LFS data for January 1996 through December 2010 have been revised based on these modifications. For more information, please see Improvements to the Labour Force Survey (LFS): The 2011 Revisions of the Labour Force Survey (LFS), Statistics Canada Catalogue no. 71F0031X.
The elimination of Grade 13 (Ontario Academic Credits [OAC]) in Ontario after 2002/2003 may have affected participation rates at certain ages.
Figures may not add up to totals because of rounding.
Caution should be exercised in interpreting these ratios and differences in ratios between ages and over time, as small estimates may present fairly high sampling variability. Estimates for small geographic areas, for small age groups, or for cross-classified variables will be associated with larger variability.
For a brief description of this indicator, including the methodology, please see the Handbook for the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program.
