Overview
Type Census of Population
Identification pumf-95M0010-E-1996-individuals
Series The Census Public Use Microdata Files (PUMFs) contain samples of anonymous responses to the Census questionnaire. The files have been carefully scrutinized to ensure the complete confidentiality of the individual responses. Three (3) files are available: the Individuals File, the Families File, and the Households and Housing File. PUMFs enable the development of statistical information about Canadians, the families and households to which they belong, and the dwellings in which they live. Microdata files are unique among census products in that they give users access to non-aggregated data. Each file contains anonymous individual responses on a large number of variables. The PUMF user can group and manipulate these variables to suit his/her own data and research requirements. Tabulations not included in other census products can be created, or relationships between variables can be analysed using different statistical tests. PUMFs provide quick access to a comprehensive social and economic database about Canada and its people. However, to ensure the anonymity of the respondents, geographic identifiers have been restricted to the provinces/territories and large metropolitan areas.
Abstract 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. Four new questions were added in 1996: Aboriginal self-reporting, population group, unpaid activities, and method of tranportation used to get to work.

Notes Refers to the highest grade or year of elementary or secondary school attended, or the highest year of university or other non-university completed. University education is considered to be above other non-university. Also, the attainment of a degree, certificate or diploma is considered to be at a higher level than years completed or attended without an educational qualification.<br /> In 1976 and 1971, this variable was denoted as “Level of Schooling”. In 1971, it was defined as the “highest grade or year of elementary, secondary school or university ever attended and whether or not additional training in the form of vocational or postsecondary non-university was present”. In 1976, the definition was slightly revised to emphasize completion (rather than attendance) beyond the secondary level: “Level of Schooling” referred to the highest grade or year of elementary/secondary school attended, or the highest year of postsecondary non-university or university completed by the person.
