Data for 1998 have been added to the Longitudinal Administrative Databank (LAD). This databank now spans 17 years, from 1982 to 1998, and contains information about individuals and census families.
The LAD consists of a 20% longitudinal sample of Canadian taxfilers. It is designed to provide researchers and analysts with a tool for studying the changes in income that Canadians and their families experience. The LAD contains a wide variety of income and demographic variables such as employment income, self-employment income, Registered Retirement Savings Plan contributions, alimony, age, sex, and census family composition. The large sample (4.5 million persons in 1998) ensures reliable estimates for Canada, the provinces, Census Metropolitan Areas and several subprovincial regions, based on aggregations of postal codes.
Custom tabulations including 1998 data are now available (13C0019, variable price).
