Longitudinal data from the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics
(SLID)
Starting with reference year 1998, the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics
(SLID) officially replaced the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) as the
source of income data. SLID is a longitudinal survey – the same people are interviewed
from one year to the next for a period of six years – that began
collecting data with the 1993 reference year. The income content of the two surveys is similar, with SLID adding a
large selection of variables that capture transitions in Canadian jobs,
income and family events. Therefore, SLID opens new research avenues
that will provide greater insights on important issues, such as how many
Canadians remain in low income situations and what makes it possible
for others to emerge from periods of low income. Paradoxically, the comprehensive data that make SLID so valuable, also
makes it more complex for Statistics Canada to ensure that confidentiality
of respondents is maintained. In order to comply with the strict confidentiality provisions of the
Statistics Act, SLID longitudinal data are made available through new
modes of dissemination, namely: remote data access: enables researchers to write and test their own computer programs.
They can then send these programs via the Internet to Statistics Canada,
Where they are run on the microdata file. The results are sent back to the
client. This service is an alternative to using Statistics Canada's Data
Centres or Regional Offices which are not always located in areas accessible
to the researchers.
research data centres: were opened in 2000 on selected university campuses
across the country. These centres act as extensions of Statistics Canada
and provide researchers with access to the data, while protecting confidentiality.
Public use microdata files
Cross-sectional public use microdata files for 1996 to 2000 are available
modeled on the Survey of Consumer Finances microdata files. No longitudinal
public use microdata files are presently planned.
