Census of Canada, 2001: individual pumf. Second revision. Laine Ruus, Data Library Service May 12, 2006 (Fri 08:39 AM EDT) survey 279 1 Case Identification Variable ASCII Province or territory Province and territory refer to the major political units of Canada. From a statistical point of view, province and territory are basic areas for which data are tabulated. Canada is divided into ten provinces and three territories. A new territory called Nunavut came into effect on April 1, 1999. Nunavut includes three census divisions (Baffin Region, Keewatin Region, and Kitikmeot Region) that were formerly the eastern portion of the Northwest Territories. Reported for: Total population, excluding institutional residents 10 Newfoundland and Labrador 11 Prince Edward Island 12 Nova Scotia 13 New Brunswick 24 Quebec 35 Ontario 46 Manitoba 47 Saskatchewan 48 Alberta 59 British Columbia 60 Yukon, NWT, Nunavut ASCII Census metropolitan area (cma) A census metropolitan area (CMA) is formed by one or more adjacent municipalities centred on a large urban area (known as the urban core). The census population count of the urban core is at least 100,000 to form a census metropolitan area. To be included in the CMA, other adjacent municipalities must have a high degree of integration with the central urban area, as measured by commuting flows derived from census place of work data. Reported for: Total population, excluding institutional residents 205 Halifax 421 Quebec 462 Montreal 499 Sherbrooke/Trois-Rivieres 505 Ottawa - Hull 532 Oshawa 535 Toronto 537 Hamilton 539 St. Catharines/Niagara 541 Kitchener 555 London 559 Windsor 599 Sudbury/Thunder Bay 602 Winnipeg 799 Regina/Saskatoon 825 Calgary 835 Edmonton 933 Vancouver 935 Victoria 999 Not applicable ASCII Relationship to household reference person 9 Other relatives of Person includes: Aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, grandparents, etc. - including their respective spouses or common-law partners and children, if applicable 10 Persons not related to Person includes: Lodgers, room-mates, employees, etc. - including their respective spouses or common-law partners and children, if applicable Refers to the relationship of household members to the household reference person (Person 1). A person may be related to Person 1 through blood, marriage, common-law or adoption (e.g. spouse, common-law partner, son or daughter, father or mother) or unrelated (e.g. lodger, room-mate or employee). Reported for: Total population, excluding institutional residents Q6. Relationship to person 1 For each person usually living here, describe his/her relationship to Person 1. Mark 'x' or specify one response only. Stepchildren, adopted children and children of a common-law partner should be considered sons and daughters. If none of the choices appliy, use the "other" box to indicate this person's relationship to Person 1. Examples of "other" relationships to Person 1: - grandparent - cousin - niece or nephew - lodger's husband or wife - room-mate's daughter or son - employee 1 Person 1 2 Spouse/common-law partner 3 Son or daughter 4 Father or mother 5 Brother or sister 6 Son-in-law or daughter-in-law 7 Father-in-law or mother-in-law 8 Brother-in-law or sister-in-law 9 Other relatives of Person 1 10 Not related to Person 1 ASCII Number of household maintainers 9 Not applicable includes: Persons in collective households and persons in households outside Canada Refers to the number of persons in a household who pay the rent or mortgage, or the taxes, or the electricity bills, and so on, for the dwelling. If no person in the household is responsible for such payments, Person 1 is considered to be the only household maintainer. Note: A major conceptual modification was introduced in this variable for the 1991 Census: for the first time, respondents in private households were able to identify more than one person as responsible for the shelter expenses. The maximum allowable number was six. In order for a person identified as being responsible for the household payments to be considered as the household maintainer, that person must be 15 years of age or older and be related to Person 1 in terms other than as a lodger or an employee (or as a member of a lodger's or an employee's census family). In the 1981 and 1986 Censuses, only one person could be counted as the household maintainer. Comparisons with the 1991, 1996 and 2001 Censuses can be made using the "Primary Household Maintainer Indicator" variable. Reported for: Private households Derived variable: Question H1 H1. Who pays the rent or mortgage, taxes, electricity, etc., for this dwelling" If more than one person contributes to such payments, mark as many circles as apply. 1 One maintainer 2 Two maintainers 3 Three or more maintainers 9 Not applicable ASCII Primary household maintainer indicator 9 Not applicable includes: Persons in collective households and persons in households outside Canada Refers to the first person identified as being the household maintainer. This will normally be the person who contributes the greatest amount toward the payments for shelter expenses; in the case of a household where two people share these expenses equally, the first person listed in the household maintainer response on the census questionnaire is chosen as the primary household maintainer. Note: In the 1981 and 1986 Censuses, only one person could be counted as being the household maintainer. Comparisons with the 2001, 1996 and 1991 Censuses can be carried out for persons who fall into the "Primary Household Maintainer" category listed below (Code 1). Also see the note under the "Number of Household Maintainers" variable. Due to changes in questionnaire design and data capture, the method of identifying the primary household maintainer in 2001 and 1996 differs slightly from that of 1991. These changes may affect the number of households where two or more persons contribute toward shelter expenses. As a result, the characteristics of the primary household maintainer in 2001 and 1996 may not be strictly comparable to those released in the 1991 Census. Reported for: Population in private households Derived variable: Question H1. H1. Who pays the rent or mortgage, taxes, electricity, etc., for this dwelling" If more than one person contributes to such payments, mark as many circles as apply. 1 Primary household maintainer 2 Not primary household maintainer 9 Not applicable ASCII Household classification Household Refers to a person or a group of persons (other than foreign residents) who occupy the same dwelling and do not have a usual place of residence elsewhere in Canada. It may consist of a family group (census family) with or without other non-family persons, of two or more families sharing a dwelling, of a group of unrelated persons, or of one person living alone. Household members who are temporarily absent on Census Day (e.g. temporary residents elsewhere) are considered as part of their usual household. For census purposes, every person is a member of one and only one household. Unless otherwise specified, all data in household reports are for private households only. Private Household Refers to a person or a group of persons (other than foreign residents) who occupy a private dwelling and do not have a usual place of residence elsewhere in Canada. Other Households Refers to a person or a group of persons who occupy a collective dwelling and do not have a usual place of residence elsewhere in Canada, or to a person or a group of persons residing together outside Canada on government, military or diplomatic postings. Reported for: Total population, excluding institutional residents 1 Private household 2 Other households ASCII Household type 99 Not applicable includes: Persons in collective households and persons in households outside Canada Refers to the basic division of private households into family and non-family households. Family household refers to a household that contains at least one census family, that is, a married couple with or without children, or a couple living common-law with or without children, or a lone parent living with one or more children (lone-parent family). One-family household refers to a single census family (with or without other non-family persons) that occupies a private dwelling. Multiple-family household refers to a household in which two or more census families (with or without additional non-family persons) occupy the same private dwelling. Non-family household refers to either one person living alone in a private dwelling or to a group of two or more people who share a private dwelling, but who do not constitute a census family.

Note: For historical and statutory reasons, shelter occupancy on reserves does not lend itself to the usual classification by standard tenure categories. Therefore, a special category, Band housing, has been created for the 1991, 1996 and 2001 Census products. For further information, see the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue No. 92-378-XIE. In order to protect the confidentiality of data in the 2001 Public Use Microdata File (PUMF), the categories "Rented" and "Band Housing" have been combined as in the 1991 and 1996 PUMFs. Furthermore, gross rent data for individuals living in Band housing have been imputed to prevent inadvertent disclosure of individual information. Users should be cautioned when using housing and shelter cost data for analyses focussed entirely or largely on Aboriginal population.

Economic family persons refer to two or more household members who are related to each other by blood, marriage, common-law or adoption, and thereby constitute an economic family. Unattached individuals refer to household members who are not members of an economic family. Persons living alone are included in this category. Reported for: Population in private households Derived variable: Questions 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 (The question on Common-law status ? Question 5 in 2001 ? was first asked in the 1991 Census.) Q2. Sex Q3.

For a chart of the Economic and Census Family Membership and Family Status classifications, see Appendix A (Figure 14 of the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue No. 92-378-XIE). Family persons refer to household members who belong to a census family. They, in turn, are further classified as follows: Spouses refer to persons of opposite sex who are legally married to each other and living in the same dwelling. Common-law partners are two persons of opposite sex or of the same sex who are not legally married to each other, but live together as a couple in the same dwelling. Lone parent refers to a mother or a father, with no spouse or common-law partner present, living in a dwelling with one or more children. Children refer to blood, step- or adopted sons and daughters (regardless of age or marital status) who are living in the same dwelling as their parent(s), as well as grandchildren in households where there are no parents present. Sons and daughters who are living with their spouse or common-law partner, or with one or more of their own children, are not considered to be members of the census family of their parent(s), even if they are living in the same dwelling. In addition, those sons and daughters who do not live in the same dwelling as their parent(s) are not considered members of the census family of their parent(s). The category of children can be further distinguished as follows: Never-married sons and/or daughters in a census family, as used in censuses prior to 2001. Other sons and/or daughters in a census family who would not have been included in the census family of their parents according to the previous concept. Grandchildren living in the same household as their grandparent(s), with no parents present. Non-family persons refer to household members who do not belong to a census family. They may be related to Person 1 (e.g. Person 1's sister, brother-in-law, cousin, grandparent), or unrelated to Person 1 (e.g. lodger, room-mate, employee). A person living alone is always a non-family person. Note: Use the "Census Family Status" variable to identify male and female spouses or male and female common-law partners: not the "Marital Status" variable. See definitions under the "Legal Marital Status" variable and the "Historical Comparability Indicator of Marital Status" for definitional changes from previous censuses. Reported for: Population in private households Derived variable: Questions 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 (The question on Common-law status ? Question 5 in 2001 ? was first asked in the 1991 Census.) Q2. Sex Q3.

Those persons with children at home are further classified on the basis of the age groups of all of their children. Note: The term "children" refers to blood, step- or adopted sons and daughters (regardless of age or marital status) who are living in the same dwelling as their parent(s), as well as to grandchildren in households where there are no parents present. Sons and daughters who are living with their spouse or common-law partner, or with one or more of their own children, are not considered to be members of the census family of their parent(s), even if they are living in the same dwelling. In addition, those sons and daughters who do not live in the same dwelling as their parent(s) are not considered members of the census family of their parent(s). In the 2001 Census, several changes were made to the census family concepts. For additional information, see the Census Family Composition and Census Family Status definitions in the Family Universe. In the 1981, 1986 and 1991 Censuses, this variable was derived only for females 15 years and over in private households. In the 1996 and 2001 Censuses, this variable was derived for both females and males 15 years and over in private households. Reported for: Population 15 years of age and over in census families in private households 1 No child present 2 Children<2, none>5 years 3 Children<2 and > 5 4 Children 2-5 only 5 Children 2-5 and >5 6 Children 6-14 7 Children 15-24 only 8 Children 25 or older only 9 Not applicable ASCII Age Note: This variable shows the single years of age from 0 to 84 years of age.

Common-law partners may have any legal marital status other than "Legally married (and not separated)". Data on legal marital status are available for 1991, 1996 and 2001. For a longer historical perspective, use the "Historical Comparability Indicator of Marital Status" variable. Reported for: Total population, excluding institutional residents Direct variable: Question 4 Q4. Marital status Mark one circle only. 1 Divorced 2 Legally married and not separated 3 Separated, but still legally married 4 Never legally married/single 5 Widowed ASCII Marital status historical comparability indicator 2 Married (including common-law) includes: Male spouses, female spouses and common-law partners In 1991, 1996 and 2001, a direct question on common-law status was included. Before 1991, persons living common-law were instructed to report themselves as married in the "Marital Status" variable. To conduct longer historical comparisons with previous censuses, this variable includes common-law partners under the "Married" category. To examine the legal marital status of common-law partners, use the "Legal Marital Status" variable. Note: To separate the now-married and common-law populations, use the "Census Family Status" variable. Reported for: Total population, excluding institutional residents Derived variable: Questions 4 and 5 Q4. Marital status. Mark one circle only. Q5. Is this person living with a common-law partner. Common-law refers to two people of the opposite sex or of the same sex who live together as a couple but who are not legally married to each other. 1 Divorced 2 Married including common-law 3 Separated 4 Never married single 5 Widowed ASCII Place of birth (all Canada) 10 Other European countries includes: Austria; Belgium; France; Liechtenstein; Luxembourg; Monaco; Switzerland; Bulgaria; Czechoslovakia, n.i.e.; Czech Republic; Slovakia; Hungary; Poland; Romania; Republic of Ireland (EIRE); Denmark; Finland; Iceland; Norway; Sweden; Albania; Andorra; Gibraltar; Greece; Italy; Malta; Portugal; San Marino; Spain; Vatican City State; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Croatia; Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia; Slovenia; Yugoslavia; Estonia; Latvia; Lithuania; Belarus; Republic of Moldova; Russian Federation; Ukraine; USSR, n.i.e. 11 Asia includes: All countries of Asia, including Eastern Asia, Southern Asia, South East Asia, West Central Asia and the Middle East 12 Other countries and regions includes: The countries of Africa, South and Central America, Caribbean and Bermuda, Oceania and other countries and regions not elsewhere classified Refers to specific provinces or territories for respondents who were born in Canada, or to specific countries if born outside Canada.

In 2001 and 1996, information used to identify persons who are in a visible minority was taken from the population group question (Question 19). In 1991, the main source of information used to identify persons in a visible minority was the ethnic origin question, but other cultural variables such as place of birth, mother tongue and religion were also used as supplementary information. Caution should be used in comparing visible minority data across censuses. The visible minority variable indicates the total number of persons who met or did not meet the criteria for inclusion in any of the following groups: Chinese, South Asian, Black, Filipino, Latin American, Southeast Asian, Arab, West Asian, Japanese, Korean, Visible Minority, n.i.e., or Multiple Visible Minority. The "Visible Minority, n.i.e." group includes respondents who reported a single write-in response indicating a Pacific Islander group (for example, "Fijian" or "Polynesian") or another single write-in response likely to be a visible minority group (for example, "Guyanese" or "West Indian"). The "Multiple Visible Minority" group includes persons who reported two or more visible minority groups. Multiple responses were counted separately from single responses to avoid giving preference to one group and to avoid counting individuals twice. For example, persons who checked both "Chinese" and "Southeast Asian" were assigned to the "Multiple Visible Minority" response category. These persons were not counted in the "Chinese" and "Southeast Asian" categories. For further information, see the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue No. 92-378-XIE.

In 1991 and previous censuses, Aboriginal persons were determined using the ethnic origin question (ancestry). The 1996 Census included a question on the individual's own perception of his/her Aboriginal identity. The 2001 Census question is the same as the one used in 1996. Caution should be exercised in analyzing trends for Aboriginal peoples based on previous census data. Over time, patterns in Aboriginal self-identification have changed. In recent years, a growing number of people who had not previously identified with an Aboriginal group are now doing so. Changes in Aboriginal participation in the census over time also result in comparability issues. There are different ways to define the Aboriginal population in Canada. The 2001 Census also provides information on persons who reported at least one Aboriginal group to the ethnic origin question. Depending on the application, data on either identity or ethnic origin/ancestry may be appropriate for defining the Aboriginal population.

The ethnic origin question refers to the "roots" of the population of Canada and should not be confused with citizenship or nationality. Caution should be used in comparing ethnic origin data across censuses. Comparability of data between the 2001 Census and previous censuses has been affected by several factors, including changes in the question wording, format, examples, instructions and data processing, as well as by the social environment at the time of the census. In 2001, 1996 and 1991, respondents were asked "To which ethnic or cultural group(s) did this person's ancestors belong?" However, in 1996, the format of the ethnic origin question was changed. The 1991 Census question included 15 mark-in categories and two write-in spaces. The 2001 and 1996 questions did not include any mark-in categories. Respondents were required to write in their ethnic origin(s) in four write-in spaces. In 1996, the ethnic origin question gave 24 examples: French, English, German, Scottish, Canadian, Italian, Irish, Chinese, Cree, Micmac, Métis, Inuit (Eskimo), Ukrainian, Dutch, East Indian, Polish, Portuguese, Jewish, Haitian, Jamaican, Vietnamese, Lebanese, Chilean and Somali. In 2001, the ethnic origin question gave 25 examples: Canadian, French, English, Chinese, Italian, German, Scottish, Irish, Cree, Micmac, Métis, Inuit (Eskimo), East Indian, Ukrainian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Filipino, Jewish, Greek, Jamaican, Vietnamese, Lebanese, Chilean and Somali. It should be noted that, prior to the 1981 Census, only the respondent's paternal ancestry was to be reported. If multiple ethnic origins were reported, only one origin was captured, resulting in one ethnic origin per respondent. In 1981, this restriction was removed, allowing for multiple ethnic origins. One write-in space was provided on the 1981 questionnaire, in addition to the mark-in boxes. For more information on the comparability of ethnic origin data between censuses, see Chapter IV, Other Factors Affecting Data Reliability. This variable enables users to determine the ethnic distribution of the population based on selected single responses (persons who provided one ethnic origin only) and selected multiple response categories (persons who reported more than one ethnic origin). There is no double counting of the population of this variable. Persons who provided more than one ethnic origin are included in only one of the multiple response categories. The sum of single and multiple responses is equal to the total population. For further information, see the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue No. 92-378-XIE.

Ethnic categories are composed of smaller units which are referred to as ethnic groups or ethnic origins. (For more information on ethnic origin, see the ETHNICR variable.) "Aboriginal ethnic category" refers to persons who reported at least one Aboriginal ethnic origin. This includes North American Indian, Métis or Inuit. Persons who reported a single response to any of the above are included in the Aboriginal single ethnic category. Persons who reported a combination of any of the above origins or who reported Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal origins are included in the Aboriginal multiple ethnic category. Total counts for each ethnic category can be derived by adding single and multiple categories. Users should be careful when interpreting multiple ethnic categories because persons who reported origins which are included in more than one ethnic category are counted more than once. For example, a person who reported "North American Indian and Irish" is included in both the Aboriginal multiple ethnic category and the British Isles multiple ethnic category. There are different ways to define the Aboriginal population in Canada. The data shown here are for persons who reported an Aboriginal ethnic origin or an Aboriginal ancestry. The 2001 Census also provides information on persons who self-identified with an Aboriginal group (see the "Aboriginal Identity" variable). Depending on the application, data on either ethnic origin/ancestry or identity may be appropriate for defining the Aboriginal population. Comparability of the ethnic origin data from the 2001 Census with previous censuses has been affected by several factors, including changes in the question format, wording, examples, instructions and data processing, as well as by the social environment at the time of the census. Changes in Aboriginal participation in the census over time also result in comparability issues.

A person is classified as a non-mover if no difference exists. Otherwise, a person is classified as a mover and this categorization is called Mobility Status (1 Year Ago). Within the category of movers, a further distinction is made between non-migrants and migrants; this difference is called migration status. Non-movers are persons who, on Census Day, were living at the same address as the one at which they resided one year earlier. Movers are persons who, on Census Day, were living at a different address than the one at which they resided one year earlier. Non-migrants are movers who, on Census Day, were living at a different address, but in the same census subdivision (CSD) as the one they lived in one year earlier. Migrants are movers who, on Census Day, were residing in a different CSD one year earlier (internal migrants) or who were living outside Canada one year earlier (external migrants). Note: All geographic areas reflect their 2001 boundaries, even when referred to as places of residence in 2000. This applies to all geostatistical areas that are subject to boundary changes between censuses. The various mobility status or migration status categories are defined as follows: Mobility Status Universe - MOB1P EQ 1 to 6 Non-movers - MOB1P EQ 1 Movers - MOB1P EQ 2 to 6 Non-migrants - MOB1P EQ 2 Migrants - MOB1P EQ 3 to 6 Internal migrants - MOB1P EQ 3 to 5 Intraprovincial migrants - MOB1P EQ 3 and 4 Interprovincial migrants - MOB1P EQ 5 External migrants - MOB1P EQ 6 Mobility Status Universe exclusions - MOB1P EQ 9 Reported for: Population 1 year of age and over residing in Canada, excluding institutional residents and Canadians (military and government personnel) in households outside Canada Derived variable: Question 24 Q24.

Respondents were classified as either employed, or unemployed, or as not in the labour force. The labour force includes the employed and the unemployed. Employed (in Reference Week) Refers to persons 15 years of age and over, excluding institutional residents, who, during the week (Sunday to Saturday) prior to Census Day (May 15, 2001): (a) did any work at all for pay or in self-employment or without pay in a family farm, business or professional practice; (b) were absent from their job or business, with or without pay, for the entire week because of a vacation, an illness, a labour dispute at their place of work, or any other reasons. Unemployed (in Reference Week) Refers to persons 15 years of age and over, excluding institutional residents, who, during the week (Sunday to Saturday) prior to Census Day (May 15, 2001), were without paid work or without self employment work and were available for work and either: (a) had actively looked for paid work in the past four weeks; or (b) were on temporary lay-off and expected to return to their job; or (c) had definite arrangements to start a new job in four weeks or less. Not in the Labour Force (in Reference Week) Refers to persons 15 years of age and over, excluding institutional residents, who, in the week (Sunday to Saturday) prior to Census Day (May 15, 2001), were neither employed nor unemployed. It includes students, homemakers, retired workers, seasonal workers in an "off" season who were not looking for work, and persons who could not work because of a long-term illness or disability. Labour Force (in Reference Week) Refers to persons who were either employed or unemployed during the week (Sunday to Saturday) prior to Census Day (May 15, 2001). In past censuses, this was called "Total Labour Force". Reported for: Population 15 years of age and over, excluding institutional residents Derived variable: Questions 34 to 39 Q35. Last week, was this person on temporary lay-off or absent from his/her job or business? Q36. Last week, did this person have definite arrangements to start a new job within the next four weeks? Q37.

(b) Self-employed persons with paid help are often grouped under the category "employers". Self-employed persons without paid help are classified as "own account" or "independent" workers. This variable classifies persons who reported a job into the following categories: (a) persons who worked mainly for wages, salaries, commissions, tips, piece-rates, or payments "in kind" (payments in goods or services rather than money); (b) persons who worked mainly for themselves, with or without paid help, operating a business, farm or professional practice, alone or in partnership; (c) persons who worked without pay in a family business, farm or professional practice owned or operated by a related household member; unpaid family work does not include unpaid housework, unpaid child care, unpaid care to seniors and volunteer work. The job reported was the one held in the week (Sunday to Saturday) prior to enumeration (May 15, 2001) if the person was employed, or the job of longest duration since January 1, 2000, if the person was not employed during the reference week. Persons with two or more jobs in the reference week were asked to provide information for the job at which they worked the most hours. Incorporation Status Refers to the legal status of a business, farm or professional practice. It is directed at persons who were mainly self-employed, either with or without paid help in the job reported (i.e. their job in the week [Sunday to Saturday] prior to enumeration [May 15, 2001] or the one of longest duration since January 1, 2000). An incorporated business is a business, farm or professional practice that has been formed into a legal corporation, thus constituting a legal entity under either federal or provincial laws. An unincorporated business, farm or professional practice is not a separate legal entity, but may be a partnership, family business or owner-operated business. The question on incorporation is often used in conjunction with Labour Market Activities: Class of Worker data, since self-employed persons who reported their farm or business as incorporated can be included with paid workers in certain types of analysis. Wage and Salary Earners Includes persons 15 years of age and over who worked since January 1, 2000, and who indicated that in the job reported, they were working mainly for wages, salaries, commissions, tips, piece-rates or payments "in kind" (payments in goods or services rather than money). Some examples include: those who worked in someone else's private household at such jobs as babysitting and cleaning; salespersons on commission working for only one company and not maintaining an office or staff; and those who worked for payment "in kind" in non-family enterprises, such as members of a religious order who received free room and board or other supplies in lieu of cash. Self-employed Includes persons 15 years of age and over who worked since January 1, 2000, and for whom the job reported consisted mainly of operating a business, farm or professional practice, alone or in a partnership. Some examples include: operating a farm, whether the land is rented or owned; working on a freelance or contract basis to do a job (e.g. architects, private duty nurses); operating a direct distributorship selling and delivering products such as cosmetics, newspapers, brushes and soap products; and fishing with own equipment or with equipment in which the person has a share. Respondents were to specify if their business was incorporated or unincorporated, as well as if they had paid help or no paid help. It should be noted that new tax laws in 1980 permitted the respondent, for the first time, to deduct a spouse's wages as expenses. Consequently, self-employed persons who decided to pay wages to their spouse to take advantage of the new law changed status from "without paid help" to "with paid help" between 1971 and 1981. This change should be kept in mind when comparing data between the 1971 Census and subsequent censuses. Unpaid Family Workers (Worked Without Pay for a Relative in a Family Business, Farm or Professional Practice) Includes persons 15 years of age and over who worked without regular money wages, for a relative who was a member of the same household. The job reported consisted mainly of tasks contributing to the operation of a business, farm or professional practice, owned or operated by the relative. Census data are directly comparable for this category from 1981 to 2001. The 1971 Census may not be strictly comparable to subsequent censuses because of conceptual changes in the 1981 Census. For instance, females who were unpaid family workers, worked as farm labourers, and did less than 20 hours of unpaid work a week, were excluded from the labour force according to the 1971 definitions. These persons are included in the employed labour force in 1981, 1986, 1991, 1996 and 2001. Also, new tax laws, mentioned earlier, changed the status of some people from "unpaid family workers" to "paid workers" between 1971 and 1981. In addition, there were some data quality problems with the 1981 data that led to the underestimation of the "unpaid family workers". In 1986, an apparent dramatic increase from 1981 in this category of worker was due more to better reporting in 1986 than an actual increase in the number of unpaid family workers. Reported for: Population 15 years of age and over, excluding institutional residents, who worked since January 1, 2000 Derived variable: Questions 44 and 45 Note: Questions 40 to 48 refer to this person's job or business last week.

If the person did not have a job during the week (Sunday to Saturday) prior to enumeration (May 15, 2001), the data relate to the job of longest duration since January 1, 2000. Persons with two or more jobs were to report the information for the job at which they worked the most hours. The National Occupational Classification (NOC) was developed by Statistics Canada and Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC). It is primarily used by HRDC to classify occupational data. Although Statistics Canada normally disseminates occupational data based on the 2001 National Occupational Classification for Statistics, the NOC was used to derive the "Occupation" variable because HRDC defines its employment equity groups on the basis of the NOC. The NOC is a three-tiered hierarchical arrangement of occupational groups. It consists of 26 major groups, 140 minor groups and 520 unit groups. Each unit group has a unique four-digit code. The first three digits of this code indicate the minor and major groups to which the unit group belongs. The NOC was revised for 2001. Therefore, 2001 data are not directly comparable with data from the 1996 and 1991 Censuses. The following table summarizes the changes affecting the employment equity categories. 1991/1996 Employment Equity Employment Equity NOC Code Category in 1996 Category in 2001 and 1991 1421 Clerical personnel Semi-professionals and technicians 6470 Intermediate sales Semi-professionals and and service personnel technicians 6631 Other sales and Intermediate sales and service personnel service personnel 6671* Other sales and Intermediate sales and service personnel service personnel 9510 Semi-skilled manual Skilled crafts and trades workers workers * Only part of this unit group changed employment equity categories in 2001.

Various combinations of income sources can be used to derive this classification. For example, at the most detailed level, the income sources are combined into five components: wages and salaries, self-employment income (farm and non-farm), government transfer payments, investment income, and other income. The absolute values for these components are compared, and the largest one is designated as the major source of income. Reported for: Persons in census families in private households Derived variable 1 No income 2 Wages and salaries 3 Self-employment income 4 Government transfer payments 5 Investment income 6 Other income 9 Not applicable ASCII Income status (2000 low income cut-offs) On the basis of the total income of an economic family or an unattached individual, the size of the family and the size of the area of residence, the income status of each unattached individual and economic family is determined in relation to Statistics Canada's low income cut-offs (LICOs) (see text for details). These cut-offs are based on national family expenditure data and are updated yearly by changes in the consumer price index. The concept of an economic family is broader than that of a census family, in that an economic family consists of all persons living together and related by blood, marriage, common-law or adoption. Unattached individuals are persons either living alone or living in a household where they are not related to another person. Where an economic family consists of more than a census family, all individuals that make up the economic family carry the income status of that economic family. The incidence of low income is the percentage of economic families or unattached individuals in a given category below the applicable low income cut-off. Reported for: Economic families and unattached individuals 15 years of age and over in private households, excluding economic families and unattached individuals living in the Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories and Nunavut Derived variable 1 Aboveline The total income of the economic family unit in 2000 was not below the low income cut-off point for it 2 Belowline The total income of the economic family unit in 2000 was below the low income cut-off point for it 9 Not applicable The concept is not applicable ASCII Individuals weighting factor This variable corresponds to the number of persons represented by the record.
