The survey was carried out in February and March 1979 and refers to calendar year 1978. The Survey of Family Expenditures of 1978 is the first of national scope since 1969 and was designed to provide information for families and unattached individuals (spending units) living in private households in all areas of Canada excluding the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. Users should note that data on detailed food expenditure for 1978 were collected in a separate survey, see Statistics Canada Catalogue Number 62-548. This survey did not cover the country as a whole but only 16 major regional cities. No public use tape will be made available from this survey. This documentation of the tape is intended to help users interpret family expenditure data correctly. The record layout gives the basic content of the file with the names of the items, their field number and position on the file. The record layout (tape) consists of 6 main sections: "Location" section has the codes for region, size of area of residence, and farm status. The sample weight and an identification number is also in this area; "Summary Expenditure Categories" section contains the main items of expenditure and corresponds to the expenditure items in the summary tables published, for example, in 62-551; "Spending Unit Descriptions" has the income and some demographic characteristics of the spending unit (S.U.); "Housing" gives characteristics of the dwelling occupied December 31, 1978 as well as the tenure of the S.U., the fuel most used for heating, and asset change with respect to the home; "Supplementary Expenditure Items" section has some of the more important components of the "Summary Expenditure Categories" section; "Supplementary Net Change in Asset and Debt Item" section contains the net contribution to registered retirement savings plans. The section called "Variable Descriptions" gives the components of each item, the area in the questionnaire (Appendix B) from which the variable was derived, and clarifying notes if needed. In the "Technical Descriptions" section the sample design and data collection procedures are discussed along with a user guide area. The user guide area is especially important to users who are using other sources of statistics in conjunction with the family expenditure data. Appendix A shows summary family expenditure information by region, size of area of residence and family income. These tables show information before and after the reweighting and deletion of records, which was done to safeguard the identity of respondents. Also to illustrate the effect of the complex sample design the standard errors for average expenditures and for linear regression coefficients are shown based on a technique which allows for sample design compared with a standard package version which assumes simple random sampling. Appendix B contains copies of the questionnaires used to collect the expenditure data. The household control card (FEX 1) was used to list all members of the household along with some of their characteristics. The questionnaire or schedule (FEX 2) was used to collect the expenditures, income and other information from the spending unit. It is recommended that, as well as reading this documentation, users obtain a copy of Family Expenditures in Canada, Volume 3, Catalogue 62-551" which contains further information on the survey as well as tabulated results.

The numbers begin at 00001 and end at 09356. The file is sorted by region (field 2), size of area of residence (field 3), and income before taxes (field 36)(i.e. income within size of area of residence within region). Therefore the lowest income in an urban center of 100,000 or more in the Atlantic provinces would have number 00001 and the highest income in a rural area of British Columbia would have the largest identification number. STANDARD GEOGRAPHIC CODE (Region) Code Classification 1 Atlantic Provinces includes Newfoundland Prince Edward Island Nova Scotia New Brunswick 2 Quebec 3 Ontario 4 Prairie Provinces includes Manitoba Saskatchewan Alberta 5 British Columbia SIZE OF AREA OF RESIDENCE Code Classification 1 Urban areas with population of 100,000 or more 2 Urban areas with population of 30,000 - 99,999 3 Urban areas with population less than 30,000 4 Rural areas Size of Area of Residence Spending units are located in specific areas of residence at the time of the survey(1). These areas are of three basic kinds. The first kind are those represented by a sample of its own population, which in the Labour Force (LFS) frame are called Self-representing Units (SRU's). The second kind form part of a wider grouping of rural or smaller urban areas outside the SR areas, in which specific areas would not necessarily be represented by its own population. These are called Non-self-representing Units (NSRU's). The third kind are called special areas and comprise hospitals, military establishments, institutions and remote areas. In the Labour Force Area Frame there are 127 SRU's. These, with a few exceptions, have the 1971 Census boundary of either a census metropolitan area (CMA), a census agglomeration (CA), or a single municipality (which is not part of a CMA or CA). SRU's have for family expenditure data users been delineated to size of area of residence classification according to the 1976 population (1976 boundary) of the CMA, CA or single municipality which they wholly or partly form. On this basis 25 SRU's are assigned to the urban areas with population of 100,000 or more; 39 to the 30,000 to 99,999 class(2); and the remaining 63 were included with the urban NSRU areas in the under 30,000 class(3),and the rural NSRU's are assigned to the rural area group. Special areas were classified in the appropriate size of area of residence category. ---------- (1) During part or all of the survey reference year some spending units could have been located in a different area. (2) Specific assignments for the 100,000 or more, and the 30,000 to 99,999 groups are shown in the appended chart. (3) Some areas in this category are defined by Census as rural (i.e. population is less than 1000 per square mile) POPULATION 100,000 OR MORE St. John's Oshawa Halifax St. Catharines-Niagara Saint John Sudbury Quebec Thunder Bay Montreal Windsor Hull Winnipeg Sherbrooke Regina Chicoutimi-Jonquiere Saskatoon Ottawa Calgary Toronto Edmonton Hamilton-Burlington Vancouver Kitchener-Waterloo Victoria London POPULATION 30,000 - 99,999 Sydney-Glace Bay Trenton Sydney Mines Brandford Moncton Sarnia Fredericton Chatham Rimouski Guelph Trois-Rivieres Barrie Shawinigan Sault Ste.

At the time of the survey the spending unit was living in a rural area. 2. Some time during 1978 a) any member lived on a farm and b) any member operated a farm For the survey a farm is a holding on which agricultural operations are carried out, and must be one acre or more in size and to have produced agricultural products during the past 12 months which sold for $1200 or more. FAMEX WEIGHT In order to provide estimates applicable to the population in the ten provinces, it is necessary to weight each record by a weighting factor (field number 5). This weighting factor reflects the variation in sampling and response rates between geographic areas and spending unit types. As compared with previously published results, records have been reweighted to mask location within region and size of area of residence categories. The reweighting process has attempted to minimize the differences between the averages and aggregates before and after reweighting. The revised weights were formed such that their sum would be the same as the original weights at selective cross classifications of the data. As was noted in the Introduction 14 records were excluded from the file. The reweighting process was completed before the exclusion of these records. Tabulation of aggregate income and expenditure by various classifying variables before and after the reweighting and exclusion of records are presented in Appendix A. The differences in the values are attributable to both the reweighting and the exclusion of records.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONS SAMPLE DESIGN AND IMPLICATIONS The 1978 Family Expenditure Survey (FAMEX) was carried out in urban and rural areas of the ten provinces. A multistage stratified clustered sample was selected from the Labour Force Survey sampling frame. The sampling methodology was the same as employed in the Labour Force Survey A detailed description of the Labour Force Survey sampling frame can be found in the Methodology of the Canadian Labour Force Survey, 1976, Statistics Canada, Catalogue 72-526. although sampling fractions were changed to meet specific requirements of FAMEX. The sample is designed to represent persons living in private households in the ten provinces of Canada. The excluded population consists of: - residents of Yukon and Northwest Territories; - residents of Indian Reserves; - persons living full-time in collective households such as old age homes, penal institutions, and hospitals; - families of official representatives of foreign countries. Also excluded from this file are part-year spending units (see the section on the "Treatment of Changes During Reference Year" below), and 14 records for which the risk of identification warranted their exclusion. Because of varying sampling and response rate each record on the file has a weight attached to it which gives the record its due importance in the population. The FAMEX weight is explained in greater detail in the "Variable Description" section above. Since the sample was a multistage stratified clustered sample, standard error estimates calculated assuming simple random sampling (s.r.s.) may be misleading. Generally the (s.r.s.) standard errors underestimate the true standard errors. As an illustration of the differences a comparison set of tables of standard errors have been calculated and are included in this documentation in Appendix A. The tables include standard errors of averages and of regression coefficients calculated assuming s.r.s. and allowing for the complexity of the sample design - "Keyfitz" type for average and "jacknife" type for the regression coefficients. The "s.r.s." standard errors are those obtained using a standard regression program but allowing for sample weights. For further information see the uncatalogued paper. An Investigation of Variance Estimation in Family Expenditure Surveys and associated bibliography. DATA COLLECTION The survey was conducted in the same manner as earlier surveys of family expenditure. The interviewer was first required to list all members of the household and to determine the spending units which comprised the household. The interviewer then completed an expenditure record for each spending unit, recording the information on a detailed schedule. A facsimile of the Schedule (FEX 2) appears in the Appendix to this documentation. The collection of expenditures by recall and reference to records for the previous year imposes a considerable task on both the interviewer and the respondent, necessitating lengthy interviews and frequently more than one visit in order to obtain complete information. It is considered that the calendar year provides boundaries which are apt to be more clearly defined in the respondent's mind than any other 12-month period. Purchases of large items, automobiles, chesterfield suites, etc., may be recalled fairly readily. This is also the case with rent, property taxes and monthly payments on mortgages. Food expenditure, which comprises almost one sixth of the average budget, can be estimated in terms of weekly or monthly expenses. Expenses on smaller items, which are purchased at regular intervals, are usually estimated on the basis of amount and frequency of purchase. The accuracy of other family expenditures, such as those for clothing or materials for home repairs, depends upon the ability of the respondent to remember individual purchases, at a considerable level of detail, or his willingness to consult records such as cancelled cheques, receipts, contractual agreements and other documents. USER GUIDE TO CONCEPTS In using data from the Survey of Family Expenditures in 1978 (FAMEX) on this file, particularly in conjunction with data from the Surveys of Consumer Finances (SCF), the user should have regard to the following: - the concept of the spending unit used in FAMEX; - differences in the concepts and definitions used in FAMEX and SCF; - the treatment of changes in spending unit composition, location, tenure and type of dwelling, etc. for FAMEX; - part-year spending units and the significance of their exclusion from the file. SPENDING UNIT Spending Unit is defined as a group of persons dependent on a common or pooled income for the major items of expense and living in the same dwelling or one financially independent individual living alone. Never married sons or daughters living with their parents are considered as part of their parents' spending unit. In the great majority of cases the members of spending units of two or more are related by blood, marriage or adoption and are thus consistent with the "economic family" definition employed in Surveys of Consumer Finances (a group of individuals sharing a common dwelling unit and related by blood, marriage or adoption). The definition of family employed by the population census restricts the family to a husband and wife (with or without children who have never been married, regardless of age) or a parent with one or more children never married, living in the same dwelling. Individual or one-person spending units are financially independent persons living alone or as roomers. In the statistical reports based on Family Expenditure data the terms family and unattached individuals have a non-standard meaning. These designations are applied to spending units as defined above. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FAMEX AND SCF IN THE CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS A non-catalogue publication discussing differences between the Survey of Family Expenditures and the Survey of Consumer Finances entitled: Income of Spending Units and Economic Families: A Study of Concepts and Relationships: is available on request from the Family Expenditure Surveys Section, Consumer Income and Expenditure Division, Statistics Canada. The family unit is defined differently in the two surveys. See definition of spending unit above. There are differences in the treatment of the composition of the spending or family unit. The Family Expenditure Surveys reconstruct the spending unit as it existed during the year, the income surveys consider the family unit as it is constituted at the time of the interview. Differences in the treatment of income receipts and income tax. (See page 26 in Variable Descriptions Section). Differences in population covered (for example persons in non-institutional collectives). TREATMENT OF CHANGES Spending Unit Composition The specific rules adopted in reconstructing the spending unit as it existed during the year, has at least 3 consequences: - some records include part-year as well as full-year members; - some records are for part-year spending units (i.e. comprises only part-year members); - some records are formed by merging records for persons who formed separate spending units for part of the year. Part-year Persons Incomes and expenditures are reported only for the period they are a member. Their presence and significance can be determined by the field 'number of person weeks a member'. Part-year Spending Units They included families and individuals who were for part of the survey year members of other spending units, immigrant families and individuals who arrived during the year and also Canadians who returned from living abroad or who were members of collective households. Their records are not contained on this file. Their importance is discussed in 'Family Expenditure in Canada 1978, Volume 3 (62-555)'. Merged Records If, for example, both persons prior to marriage were one-person spending units their records when separate can be combined with their joint record when married to provide a single record for the full-year. Such a record may not contain part-year members, but it can have implications for some of classifications and expenditures, e.g., a unit classified as homeowner for the full-year may report expenditure on rent. Location According to the Survey, the following percentage of S.U.s moved during the year: Homeowners Renters Mixed Tenure Moved 3.8 27.6 97.4 Moved in same area 2.4 21.8 68.1 Moved from a different area 1.4 5.8 29.3 Moving is therefore an important consideration for tenants and mixed tenure, but only for mixed tenure is moving from a different area significant. Most of the housing characteristics refer to the dwelling (or living quarters) occupied at December 31, 1978, so that for renters in particular the link between housing characteristics and expenditures, particularly rent and water, fuel and electricity could be somewhat tenuous. Tenure Changes in tenure (Mixed Tenure) during the year are only reported by about 3.2% of S.U.s; that is from renting to homeowning or vice versa. These SUs are identified in the class of tenure field (field 57, page 34) Changes with respect to mortgage status for homeowners or status change from regular renter to other type of renter are not identified as such, and their status is simply given as at December 31, 1978.
