Section 2 Selected Agriculture–Population variables by various farm operator characteristics

Canada

Table 2.2-3
Selected Agriculture–Population variables by various farm operator characteristics – Mother tongue by the farm operator’s highest level of educational attainment for total operators, operators on farms with one operator and operators on farms with two or more operators, census years 2006 and 2001

2006 number of farm operators
Symbol:
  • 0true zero or a value rounded to zero
Notes:
  1. This is a count of distinct operators; hence, operators of two or more separate farms were included only once in the total. The data for the variable "total number of farm operators" in this table are derived from Agriculture–Population Linkage 20% sample data, which have been used to derive estimates for the entire population. These data will differ from corresponding data in the Farm Data and Farm Operator Data release tables, which were based on data collected for all farms.
  2. Questions pertaining to education on the Census of Population questionnaire changed substantially between 2001 and 2006, principally to reflect developments in Canada's education system. These changes improved the quality of data collected by the census but mean that comparisons with data from previous censuses must be limited. Data for the two census years are compared for two groups: persons without a university degree and persons with a university degree (bachelor and above).

Symbol:
  • 0true zero or a value rounded to zero
Notes:
  1. This is a count of distinct operators; hence, operators of two or more separate farms were included only once in the total. The data for the variable "total number of farm operators" in this table are derived from Agriculture–Population Linkage 20% sample data, which have been used to derive estimates for the entire population. These data will differ from corresponding data in the Farm Data and Farm Operator Data release tables, which were based on data collected for all farms.
  2. Questions pertaining to education on the Census of Population questionnaire changed substantially between 2001 and 2006, principally to reflect developments in Canada's education system. These changes improved the quality of data collected by the census but mean that comparisons with data from previous censuses must be limited. Data for the two census years are compared for two groups: persons without a university degree and persons with a university degree (bachelor and above).
