This decision was reached for several reasons. First, the size of the sample of New Brunswick francophones was reduced by excluding respondents who were not employed at the time when PIAAC data were collected. Second, mainly because of the sample size, the differences between New Brunswick anglophones and francophones do not appear to be statistically significant Return to note † referrer Note ‡ in PIAAC, respondents were asked to report the frequency with which they engaged in reading eight types of materials (letters and emails, newspapers, reference materials, etc.) at home and at work. A composite index from 0 to 100 was constructed based on the responses to these questions to measure PIAAC respondents' general reading habits. The closer the index is to 100, the more frequent the respondent's reading Return to note ‡ referrer (ref.)
