Canadian Income Survey, 2016

<p>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.</p> <p>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).</p> <p>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.</p>

研究人员已广泛使用收入数据，以更深入了解加拿大民众的经济福祉。为满足此类用户的需求，加拿大统计局（Statistics Canada）编制了多款横断面公众使用微数据文件（Public Use Microdata Files，PUMFs）。消费者金融调查（Survey of Consumer Finance，SCF）的公众使用微数据文件仅发布至1997年参考年份。随着消费者金融调查的终止，劳动力与收入动态调查（Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics，SLID）的公众使用微数据文件编制覆盖了1996年至2011年的参考年份。

加拿大收入调查（Canadian Income Survey，CIS）于2012年参考年份首次推出。该调查为横断面调查，旨在提供加拿大民众的收入及收入来源信息，同时涵盖其个人与家庭特征。该调查采用简短问卷，面向劳动力调查（Labour Force Survey，LFS）的受访者子样本开展，收集劳动力市场活动、入学情况、抚养金支出、托儿费用、跨家庭转移支付、个人收入以及住房特征与成本等信息。加拿大收入调查的内容辅以劳动力调查提供的个人与家庭特征数据（如年龄、教育程度、主要工作特征及家庭类型），以及用于收入及收入来源统计的税收数据（加拿大统计局，2016a）。

加拿大收入调查公众使用微数据文件（CIS PUMF）为匿名化微数据文件，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的受访者免受数据披露风险。
