Canadian Income Survey, 2013

Income data has been used extensively by researchers to better understand the economic well-being of Canadians. To meet the needs of these users, Statistics Canada has produced numerous cross-sectional public use microdata files (PUMFs). PUMFs for the Survey of Consumer Finance (SCF) were released until reference year 1997. With the end of the SCF, PUMFs for the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) were produced for reference years 1996 to 2011. The Canadian Income Survey (CIS) was introduced for the 2012 reference year. The CIS is a cross-sectional survey developed to provide information on the income and income sources of Canadians, with their individual and household characteristics. It is a short questionnaire which is asked of a sub-sample of respondents to the Labour Force Survey (LFS), gathering information on labour market activity, school attendance, support payments, child care expenses, inter-household transfers, personal income, and characteristics and costs of housing. The CIS content is supplemented with information from the LFS on individual and household characteristics (e.g. age, educational attainment, main job characteristics, and family type) and with tax data for income and income sources (Statistics Canada, 2016a). The CIS PUMF is an anonymized microdata file that contains only a subset of variables that are available on the CIS master file. Various techniques have been employed to protect CIS respondents against the risk of disclosure.

收入数据已被研究者广泛应用，以更深入地了解加拿大民众的经济福祉状况。为满足此类用户的需求，加拿大统计局（Statistics Canada）已编制多份横截面公共使用微观数据文件（public use microdata files, PUMFs）。消费者金融调查（Survey of Consumer Finance, SCF）的公共使用微观数据文件发布至1997年基准年。随着消费者金融调查的停办，劳工与收入动态调查（Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics, SLID）的公共使用微观数据文件于1996至2011年基准年期间编制完成。加拿大收入调查（Canadian Income Survey, CIS）于2012年基准年首次推出。该调查为横截面调查，旨在提供加拿大民众的收入、收入来源及其个人与家庭特征相关信息。该调查以劳动力调查（Labour Force Survey, LFS）受访者的子样本为对象开展简短问卷调查，收集劳动力市场活动、就学情况、补助款项、育儿开支、家庭间转移支付、个人收入以及住房特征与成本等相关信息。加拿大收入调查的调查内容补充了劳动力调查中关于个人与家庭特征（如年龄、受教育程度、主要工作特征及家庭类型）的信息，以及用于核算收入及收入来源的税务数据（加拿大统计局，2016a）。加拿大收入调查公共使用微观数据文件（CIS PUMF）为匿名化微观数据文件，仅包含加拿大收入调查主文件中可用变量的子集。研究人员已采用多种技术以保护加拿大收入调查受访者免于数据披露风险。
