In Mary’s gov pubs session today, we looked at statistical tables which are NOT in CANSIM, but which CAN be found online through the data services website (records for these tables are also in the catalogue, but you’d need to know the title to find them.)
On the data services site under “Choose a data product”, select the link called “online tables and analysis”. Mary lead us through these tables:
Inter-war Labour Database (1919 – 1944)
This is a key resource for ECON 490 students who need to find labour stats for the depression years.
Prior to 1945, some labour data existed, but it was fragmented (from a variety of sources, covering only some labour market segments, and using different statistical concepts). This source integrates this early data into a statistical series. See the abstract for more info.
Income Trends in Canada (1980- )
Contains more than 40 cross-classified income tables for Canada, the 10 provinces and 15 census metropolitan areas (CMAs). Major topics included are income distributions and inequality, earnings of men and women, income tax, government transfers, low income and sources of income.
Because we purchase the annual CD-ROM, we have online access- it is not otherwise freely available over the web.
Justice Statistics (1972- ?)
Tables on crime, police administration, adult and youth court activity, the correctional population and transition homes, as well as various issues such as criminal victimization and family violence, drawn from Stats Can surveys (see the abstract for a list of surveys).
Survey of Household Spending (1997-2005)
Detailed expenditures at the household level on a wide variety of goods and services. Also includes dwelling characteristics and possession of household equipment and services.
Health Indicators (1999 -)
Canadian health indicators at the health region and provincial/territorial levels. Maps available for selected indicators.
