Abstract:
|
In Canada, two important research tools are derived from administrative data to shed light on current and emerging issues. The first source of information is the T1 Family File (T1FF) produced from individual income tax declarations and completed by imputing non-filing spouses and dependents to create families based on the census family concept. After processing, the T1 Family File represents 96% of the Canadian population and indeed is a rich source of revenue and demographic information at a very detailed geographical level. The second source of information is the longitudinal administrative databank (LAD) which consists of a 20% sample of tax filers from the T1 Family File. These two sources of information as well as some examples of research studies which have used these sources will be presented.
