1996 Census of Population [Canada] Public Use Microdata Files (PUMF): Families File

The 1996 Census public use microdata file (PUMF) on families contains data based on a 2.8% sample of the population enumerated in the census. It provides information on the demographic, social and economic characteristics of the Canadian population. The file contains details of family composition in Canada, such as information on labour force activity and income for census family and non-family persons. Four new questions were added in 1996: Aboriginal self-reporting, population group, unpaid activities, and method of tranportation used to get to work.
