INTRODUCTION The Public Use Microdata File on Individuals is a product of the 1986 Census of Canada. The file contains a wide range of statistical data for Canada, the provinces and territories, as well as selected census metropolitan areas. These data are based on a sample of 500,000 individuals, representing approximately 2% of the population. Extensive demographic, social and economic information such as income, age, schooling and ethno-cultural characteristics are provided. This microdata file is unique among census products since it allows users to return to the base unit of the census, enabling them to group data to suit their own requirements. As a result, it is a powerful analytical and research tool. The following pages are a preliminary version of the documentation and user's guide. They provide a list and a description of all variables, along with information about how the sample was selected and how to derive estimates. The final version will provide further information on data quality and on special measures taken to ensure the confidentiality of the information contained in this file. The final version of the documentation will be available in late December 1989. 1 II. SAMPLE DESIGN AND ESTIMATION 1. Target Population and Geographical Limitations of the File + __________________________________________________________ The target population for the file includes all individuals except for institutional residents and residents of incompletely enumerated Indian reserves or settlements. In order to meet confidentiality criteria, the geographical information on the file is restricted. Aside from province, only twelve census metropolitan areas are identified. 2. Sample Design + _____________ The sample for the individual microdata file was selected in two stages. The first stage is the one-fifth (2B) sample collected during the 1986 Census. The second stage consists of a systematic sample of individuals drawn from within predetermined strata of the 2B sample. 2.1 First Stage + ___________ In the 1986 Census of Population, four out of five households were enumerated using a short questionnaire (2A). This questionnaire contained nine questions of demographic and linguistic nature. The remaining households received a more detailed questionnaire (2B) that, in addition to the nine 2A questions, contained twenty-three other questions covering a wide range of topics. Each individual in the 2B sample represents him/herself and four other individuals, i.e. each individual carries a sampling weight of five. Statistical procedures that adjust the weight to obtain a more representative sample were also applied at this stage. Further details of the one in five sample can be obtained from the "Census Handbook", 1988 (cat. no. 99-104E). 2.2 Second Stage + ____________ The second stage of sampling consisted of the following steps: 1. creation of subgroups, or strata, of individuals selected in the first stage, 2. sorting within strata, of the individuals according to specific criteria, 3. sampling within strata with special procedures for temporary residents and individuals who were sampled for other purposes. Each one of these steps is described below. 2.2.1 Stratification + ______________ The population was initially divided into twenty geographic areas, namely: Montreal, Ottawa-Hull, Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Regina and Saskatoon, Kitchener, Hamilton, and St. Catharines, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec (excluding Montreal and Hull), Ontario (excluding Ottawa, Toronto, Kitchener, Hamilton, and St. Catharines), Manitoba (excluding Winnipeg), Saskatchewan (excluding Regina and Saskatoon), Alberta (excluding Calgary and Edmonton), British Columbia (excluding Vancouver), and Yukon and the Northwest Territories. Six groups were then identified in each geographic region using the following classification: 1. individual is less than 15 years of age, 2. individual's age is between 15 and 44 years and in the labour force, 3. individual's age is between 15 and 44 years and not in the labour force, 4. individual's age is between 45 and 64 years and in the labour force, 5. individual's age is between 45 and 64 years and not in the labour force, 6. individual is 65 years of age or older. The combination of the twenty geographical areas and six classifications yields a total of 120 strata. 2.2.2 Sorting + _______ Sorting was performed within each stratum. The first sort was by ethnic origin. Four values were used: 1. British, 2. Asian, 3. European, and 4. Other (includes multiple origins). Within each ethnic origin value, a secondary sort was applied. For temporary residents or persons residing in dwellings overseas, collective households, Prince Edward Island, or the Yukon and Northwest territories, the secondary sort was based on sex. For the remaining individuals, the secondary sort was by group. These groups consisted of all possible combinations of these variables: Sex; 1. female, and 2. male. Relationship to Person 1; 1. person 1, 2. relative of person 1, and 3. not a relative of person 1. Area of Residence; if the geographic area was composed of cities; 1. urban core, 2. urban fringe, and 3. rural fringe. if the geographic area was not: 4. urban area with 30,000 people or more, 5. urban area with less than 30,000 people, and 6. rural. In order to equalize the individual effects of secondary sort variables in sampling, the groups formed were randomly ordered within ethnic origin within strata. For example, individuals in the stratum defined as persons residing in Montreal whose age is between 15 and 44 and are in the labour force would first be sorted by the four ethnic origins above. Then within each of the four ethnic origins, individuals would be sorted into groups. The order of the groups would be random, i.e. the first group could be male relatives of person 1 in the urban core (combination 2-2-1), the next group female who are not related to person 1 in the urban fringe (1-3-2), and so on until all thirty-six combinations are exhausted. Finally, within each of these groups, the individuals were put into a random order. 2.2.3 Sampling + ________ Within each stratum, the sample was systematically selected with a random start and probability proportional to the first stage weight. Sample sizes within strata were determined such that each individual selected represented fifty individuals in the target population. Special procedures, described below, were required for temporary residents and overlap with other microdata files. 2.2.3.1 Temporary Residents + ___________________ Temporary residents are not part of the Census one-fifth sample but are accounted for by randomly assigning each temporary resident to an individual who is part of the sample. This individual then represents him/herself, four other persons, and the temporary resident. If a temporary resident is selected for the individual microdata file, the information carried is that of the individual assigned to that temporary resident. If both an individual and his/her's associated temporary resident are selected, two identical records will appear on the microdata file. 2.2.3.2 Overlap with Other Files + ________________________ Other microdata files are available from the 1986 Census of Population. In order to reduce the possibility of disclosure, any overlap between files has been systematically eliminated. Thus any individual selected for the Health and Activity Limitations Survey and any individual that + ______________________________________ is a member of a household or family selected for the household or family microdata files cannot be selected for the individual microdata file. Individuals who are ineligible for the file are accounted for in the following manner: 1. Within each stratum, the sample size necessary for a one in fifty sample of the target population is determined. E.g. A stratum contains 550,000 individuals. 11,000 individuals are required for a one in fifty sample. 2. Individuals ineligible for inclusion in the microdata file are determined and discarded. E.g. 55,000 of the individuals in the above example are found to be ineligible. Thus the stratum now contains 495,000 individuals. 3. Sample selection occurs within the remaining individuals but retains the original sample size. E.g. continued. The sample of 11,000 is selected from the 495,000 remaining individuals, resulting in a one in forty-five sampling rate. 4. Steps 1-3 are repeated within each stratum. In order to account for those individuals excluded, a sampling weight of fifty is used to calculate estimates. This method assumes that within a stratum, the distribution of characteristics of interest is the same for eligible and ineligible individuals. Caution should be applied in the analysis of estimates that might be affected by the absence of individuals who might identify themselves as health and activity limited. 3. Estimation + __________ The individual sample is designed to allow for easy estimation. There are two types of variables on the microdata file, numeric and coded. Numeric variables, such as income, show an actual amount. Coded variables have values based on a classification, such as the variable on occupation. Some typical estimators for the two types of variable follow. 3.1 Coded Variables Estimates of Total Estimates of total are obtained by selecting the individuals possessing the value of interest (e.g. English as the language spoken most often at home), counting them, and multiplying the resulting count by fifty. Any estimate of total that results in less than 5000 individuals should be used with caution. Estimates of Ratios and Percentages Ratio estimates involve counting the number of individuals in the numerator, the number in the denominator, and dividing. For a percentage estimate, the ratio estimate is multiplied by 100. If there are less than 100 individuals in the numerator, the ratio should be used with caution. 3.2 Numeric Variables Estimates of Total Estimates of total are obtained by selecting the individuals having the characteristic of interest (e.g. retirement income), adding up their values, and multiplying the resulting sum by fifty. If less than 100 individuals possess the characteristic of interest, the total should be used with caution. Estimates of Average Average estimates involve adding up the values of the characteristic of interest and dividing the resulting sum by the number of individuals in the numerator. Do not multiply the average by fifty. If there are less than 100 individuals in the numerator, the resulting average should be used with caution. Estimates of Ratios and Percentages Ratios are calculated by deriving the totals for the numerator and denominator and dividing. For a percentage estimate, the ratio estimate is multiplied by 100. Do NOT calculate the ratio first for each individual and then average the resulting ratios. If there are less than 100 individuals in the numerator, the ratio should be used with caution. 3.3 More complex analysis Caution must be exercised in performing more complex statistical procedures to the individual microdata file. Depending on the technique, the fact that each individual on the file represents fifty individuals may have to be taken into account. In addition, procedures that use statistical tests of significance (e.g. ANOVA) may give incorrect results if the sample design is not taken into account. 4. Data Reliability + ________________ As the individual file is a sample of the persons enumerated in the Census, estimates generated from the file will not agree exactly with published estimates of the same target population. Statistical tests have been performed to ensure the sample file is reasonably representative of the target population. Estimates that rely on less than 100 sampled individuals should be used with caution. This is due to the large sampling error occurring at these levels. It is important to consider the sampling error in any analysis. The utility of an estimate decreases as the sampling error increases. A frequently used measure of standard error is the coefficient of variation (c.v.), which expresses the sampling error as a percentage of the estimate of interest. Tables enabling the calculation of approximate c.v. will be included in the final version of this documentation. 1 III. INDEX OF VARIABLES 1.

The remainder of the working age population is Not in labour force 7 classified as 'not in the labour force'. Not applicable 0 M Employed: The employed include those persons who during the week prior to enumeration: (a) worked for pay or profit either for someone else or for themselves (armed forces and civilian); or (b) were employed in unpaid family work; or (c) had a job but were not at work (armed forces and civilian). Unemployed: The unemployed include those persons who during the week prior to enumeration: (a) were without work but had looked for work in the past four weeks. (For comparison purposes note that the 1971 data include only those persons who looked for work in the last week.); (b) had been on lay-off from a job to which they expect to return. (For comparison purposes note that the 1971 data include only those persons who reported that they had a job from which they were on temporary lay-off for not more than 30 days.) Not in the labour force: Refers to persons who did not work for pay or profit, were not employed in unpaid family work, did not look for work, were not on temporary lay-off and did not have a job from which they were absent in the week prior to enumeration. Note that in 1971, institutional residents were included in this category. In 1981 and 1986 they are excluded. The various labour force groups can be obtained by combining the codes in the following manner: total labour force codes 1 to 6 employed labour force codes 1, 2, 6 unemployed labour force codes 3, 4, 5 not in the labour force codes 7 not applicable codes 0 Users should note the following when using this variable: In the 1981 defined data, school attendance information as well as the availability question itself were used to determine the availability of persons on lay-off. In 1986, only the availability question was used as school attendance information was not collected. This 1971 definition was formulated to facilitate comparisons of the labour force and the employed with 1971 data. Since most of the differences affect the unemployed (which is only a relatively small segment of the labour force) and as no adjustment could be made to accomodate some of these differences (e.g. the change from a one to four week reference period for looking, the possible effect on response of the presence on the questionnaire of the new job and availability questions) users are cautioned that comparisons of unemployment data even using this definition may not be valid.

Not in Labour Force The Not in Labour Force classification refers to those persons who, in the week prior to enumeration, were unwilling or unable to offer or supply their labour services under conditions existing in their labour markets. It includes persons who looked for work during the last four weeks but who were not available to start work in the reference week, as well as persons who did not work, did not have a new job to start in four weeks or less, were not on temporary lay-off or did not look for work in the four weeks prior to enumeration. Questions 25 and 26 are the primary sources of data used in the creation of this variable. The various labour force groups can be obtained by combining the codes in the following manner. Total labour force codes 1 to 10 Employed labour force codes 1 to 2 Unemployed labour force codes 3 to 10 Not in labour force codes 11 to 14 Persons under 15 years of age are included in the "Not applicable" category. Note: In 1986, there was a probable overcount of persons on temporary layoff. Users are cautioned against using codes 3, 4 and 5 individually. SPECIAL NOTE: The census labour force activity concepts have not changed between 1981 and 1986. However, the processing of the data was modified causing some differences. In the 1986 Census, contrary to previous censuses, a question on school attendance was not asked. This question was used to edit the labour force activity variable, specifically unemployment. Consequently, the processing differences affect the unemployment population and are mostly concentrated among the 15-19-year age group. 0 24 HRSWK Hours worked in reference week 37 - 39 I3 CONTENT VALUE COVERAGE Number of hours = 0 0 Population 15 years of age and over, excluding institutional Number of hours greater than or residents. equal to 100 100 COMMENTS Not applicable 999 M Refers to the actual number of hours that persons 15 years of age and over, excluding institutional residents, worked in the week prior to enumeration.
