Survey of Household Spending, 2010 [Canada] [Excel]

The Survey of Household Spending provides detailed information on household expenditures, dwelling characteristics, and ownership of household equipment. The Survey of Household Spending is carried out annually across Canada in the ten provinces. Data for the territories are available for 1998, 1999 and every second year thereafter. The main purpose of the survey is to obtain detailed information about household spending during the reference year (previous calendar year). Information is also collected about dwelling characteristics as well as household equipment. The SHS has been redesigned with the aim to better adapt the collection methods and the reference periods to the capacity of the respondent to provide accurate information. Thus, the 2010 survey used a different collection methodology from previous surveys. The new methodology combines a questionnaire with recall periods based on the type of expenditure (1, 3 or 12 months, last payment, four weeks) and a daily expenditure diary that the household completes for two weeks following the interview. As well, data collection is now continuous throughout the year. This methodology is similar to the one used by most household spending surveys in other countries.

家庭支出调查（Survey of Household Spending）提供了关于家庭支出、住房特征以及家用设备拥有情况的详细信息。该调查每年在加拿大的十个省份开展，加拿大各领地的相关数据仅在1998年、1999年及此后每两年可获取。本次调查的核心目的是获取参考年度（即上一日历年度）内家庭支出的详细信息，同时也会收集住房特征与家用设备相关的信息。家庭支出调查已完成重新设计，旨在优化数据收集方法与参考周期，以适配受访者提供准确信息的能力。因此，2010年的调查采用了与往届不同的数据收集方案。新方法结合了基于支出类型设定回忆报告期（1个月、3个月、12个月、上次缴费周期或4周）的问卷，以及受访者在访谈结束后两周内填写的每日支出日志。此外，数据收集现已实现全年不间断开展。该方法与其他国家多数家庭支出调查所采用的流程类似。若需获取最新的家庭支出调查数据，请访问加拿大统计局的数据访问渠道。
