Survey of Household Spending, 2001[Canada] [Excel]

The Survey of Household Spending provides detailed information on household expenditures, dwelling characteristics, and ownership of household equipment. Data were collected via personal interviews conducted in January through March 2002 using a paper questionnaire. Information was gathered about the spending habits, dwelling characteristics and household equipment of Canadian households during 2001. The survey covered private households in the 10 provinces and three territories. (In o rder to reduce response burden for northern households, the SHS is conducted in the north only every second year, starting in 1999.) The Survey of Household Spending (first conducted for the 1997 reference year) includes most of the content from the former Family Expenditure Survey and the Household Facilities and Equipment Survey. Detailed information was collected about expenditures for consumer goods and services, changes in assets, mortgages and other loans, and annual income. This information was collected for the calendar year 2001 (the survey reference year). Information was also collected about dwelling characteristics (e.g., type and age of heating equipment) and household equipment (e.g., appliances, communications equipment, and vehicles). This type of information was collected as of December 31st of the reference year. For 2001 only, extra questions were included in the survey so that data from the SHS could be used in the weighting of the Consumer Price Index. This change may affect historical comparisons for a few variables. There were also new questions added to the 2001 SHS. The expenditure questions covered yarn and thread, regular and other leasing fees for vehicles, and cable and satellite services. Questions were also added about the presence in the home of a satellite dish, DVD player or CD wr iter, and the type of Internet connection.

家庭支出调查（Survey of Household Spending，SHS）提供了关于家庭支出、住房特征及家用设备拥有情况的详细信息。调查数据于2002年1月至3月通过纸质问卷开展的入户访问收集所得，采集了2001年度加拿大家庭的消费习惯、住房特征与家用设备相关信息。本次调查覆盖加拿大10个省及3个地区的私人家庭（为减轻北部家庭的应答负担，自1999年起，家庭支出调查仅每两年在北部地区开展一次）。家庭支出调查首次基准年为1997年，整合了原《家庭支出调查》与《家庭设施与设备调查》的大部分调研内容。调查收集了消费品及服务支出、资产变动、抵押贷款及其他贷款、年度收入等详细信息，上述信息均以2001日历年（即本次调查基准年）为统计周期。调查同时采集了住房特征（如供暖设备类型与使用年限）及家用设备（如家电、通信设备、机动车）相关信息，此类信息的统计时点为基准年12月31日。仅在2001年的调查中增设了额外问题，以便家庭支出调查的数据可用于消费者物价指数（Consumer Price Index，CPI）的权重计算，这一调整可能对部分变量的历史对比分析造成影响。2001年的家庭支出调查还新增了若干调研问题，其中支出类问题涵盖纱线与线绳、机动车常规租赁及其他租赁费用、有线电视及卫星电视服务支出，新增问题还涉及家庭是否拥有卫星天线、DVD播放机或CD刻录机，以及互联网连接类型等情况。
