Note

Note: Confidentiality disclosure control for the National Household Survey (NHS)

Disclosure control rules have been applied to data tables available from the National Household Survey (NHS). The number of actual records used to derive any number in a table must meet a minimum criterion. For a table cell where this criterion is not met, the number is replaced by a zero. Due to this disclosure control, subtotals will not necessarily aggregate to the total. As well, users should note that random rounding has also been applied to the data.

Note: Differences between the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS) estimates and census counts

The 2011 Census of Population and the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS) both provide information on the Canadian population for various levels of geography and for numerous common topics (e.g., demography, marital status, family and language) including characteristics associated to these topics. It is possible that differences exist between the 2011 Census count and the NHS estimate. Two reasons can explain these differences:

- The definition of the population of each data source: the target population for the 2011 Census includes usual residents in collective dwellings and persons living abroad, whereas the target population for the NHS excludes them.

- The variability of the estimates for the NHS: the NHS estimates are derived from a sample survey and are therefore subject to sampling error; they are also subject to potentially higher non-response error than in the census due to the survey's voluntary nature.


Note: The 2011 National Household Survey (NHS) estimates - quality indicators

For the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS) estimates, the global non-response rate (GNR) is used as an indicator of data quality. This indicator combines complete non-response (household) and partial non-response (question) into a single rate. The value of the GNR is presented to users. A smaller GNR indicates a lower risk of non-response bias and as a result, lower risk of inaccuracy. The threshold used for estimates' suppression is a GNR of 50% or more. For more information, please refer to the National Household Survey User Guide, 2011.


Note: Self-employed workers in Sector 91 - Public administration

All individuals employed in Industry Sector 91- Public administration (Industry variable) should be classified as employee (Class of worker variable). However, data users will notice counts for self-employed individuals in the Industry sector 91 - Public administration due to a failure to edit a common respondent error. More specifically, some self-employed respondents report working for the 'government' to the Industry question - and therefore are classified in Public administration - when in fact, they have obtained contractual work in the public service. These self-employed respondents should have reported their own business or services to the Industry question since they are self-employed and consequently should have been classified based on the description of their business or services provided to the government. For example, if they were offering accounting or legal services to the government and would have had reported such services instead of reporting 'government,' they would have been classified in Industry 54 - Professional, scientific and technical Services. If they were offering a medical service such as self-employed physicians and would have had reported such services instead of government, they would have been classified in Industry 62 - Health care and social assistance.
