Description: My last colleague has left the office for the night. I’m scribbling down hair brained ideas for an upcoming podcast episode when I hear it… A voice, calling ever so faintly from inside our recording studio. Come in; the night air is chill, and you must need to eat and rest. What follows is a true event, it’s the first interview of its kind. And it’s not for the faint of heart. Tune in if you dare…

Description: Canada’s population growth, driven by changing levels of permanent residents and non-permanent residents, has contributed to notable demographic shifts. These changes may be placing new pressures on the education system, prompting a need to better understand how immigration trends could influence enrolment across all levels of schooling. In response, this paper examines projected changes in elementary and secondary school enrolment in Canada from 2026 to 2030, with a focus on the marginal impact of changes in immigration levels at the national and regional levels.

Description: The Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program (PCEIP) draws from a wide variety of data sources to provide information on the school-age population, elementary, secondary and postsecondary education, transitions, and labour market outcomes.

Description:

This report covers concepts and definitions, the imputation method and data quality for this variable. The 2001 Census collected information on three types of unpaid work performed during the week preceding the Census: looking after children, housework and caring for seniors. The 2001 data on unpaid work are compared with the 1996 Census data and with the data from the General Social Survey (use of time in 1998). The report also includes historical tables.

Description:

This report deals with coverage errors that occur when persons, households, dwellings or families are missed or enumerated in error by the census. After the 2001 Census was taken, a number of studies were carried out to estimate gross undercoverage, gross overcoverage and net undercoverage. This report presents the results of the Dwelling Classification Study, the Reverse Record Check Study, the Automated Match Study and the Collective Dwelling Study. The report first describes census universes, coverage error and census collection and processing procedures that may result in coverage error. Then it gives estimates of net undercoverage for a number of demographic characteristics. After, the technical report presents the methodology and results of each coverage study and the estimates of coverage error after describing how the results of the various studies are combined. A historical perspective completes the product.

Description:

This guide presents the census concepts related to schooling and major field of study and describes the evolution of the different issues that concern these concepts. The guide also deals with the comparability of the 2001 Census data on schooling and major field of study with those of previous censuses.

Description:

This report is a brief guide to users of census income data.
