Tuesday, June 28, 2005 Longitudinal Administrative Databank1982 to 2003Data for 2003 have been added to the Longitudinal Administrative Databank (LAD). This databank now spans 22 years, from 1982 to 2003, and contains information about individuals and census families. The LAD consists of a 20% longitudinal sample of Canadian taxfilers and provides researchers and analysts with a tool for studying the changes in income experienced by individuals and their families. 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 (4.8 million persons in 2003) ensures reliable estimates for Canada, the provinces, census metropolitan areas, and some subprovincial regions, based on aggregations of postal codes. The LAD also contains information from the Longitudinal Immigration Data base, which covers almost 600,000 immigrants landed between 1980 and 2003 and provides information on their key characteristics at landing. The Longitudinal Administrative Data Dictionary (12-585-XIE, free) is available online. The 2003 version will soon be available. Custom tabulations, including 2003 data are also available (13C0019, variable prices). Definitions, data sources and methods: survey number 4107.
