Abstract:

Every 10 years, following the decennial census, the sample design of the Canadian Labour Force Survey is revisited. Because of limited resources, limited research was done for this edition. Regardless, many innovations will be implemented. The presentation will focus on two of these: the use of the Address Register to reduce collection costs and improvement made to the stratification strategy.

  • The address information is for the authors that have a + after their name.
  • Authors who are presenting talks have a * after their name.
