Notes: Data covering the period 1961 to 1982 use annual averages of monthly estimates unadjusted for seasonality. Data from 1983 to 2000 use the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) 1980, while data from 2001 to 2016 use the 2012 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Data from 1961 to 2000 refer to the finance, insurance and real estate industries sector, while data from 2001 to 2016 represent the combination of the finance and insurance, and real estate and rental and leasing sectors. Unclassified businesses are excluded from the total when calculating the proportion of employees from 1961 to 2000, while they are included in the calculation from 2001 to 2016. The estimate for 2001 was imputed as an average of 2000 and 2002.

Canada's National Economic Accounts: Key Concepts - The Framework - Transcript

Slide 1

Canada's National Economic Accounts Key Concepts – The Framework

Slide 2

Welcome to the Statistics Canada Training Institute. Today, we will explore Canada's National Economic Accounts. This lecture will focus on the overall framework that constitutes Canada's National Economic Accounts. We will discuss why a framework is needed and which framework Statistics Canada uses to report on the structure and evolution of Canada's economy.

Slide 3

You got up this morning, took a shower, ate breakfast, made the children's lunch, shovelled the driveway, caught the bus to work, made a few calls, stopped for a coffee and arrived just in time for your 9 a.m. meeting.

Slide 4

Most activities are "the economy," and it is complex with approximately:

  • 35,000,000 Canadians in 11,000,000 families.
  • 4,000,000 enterprises, from smallest to largest.
  • 5,000 public administrations.
  • Thousands of non-profit organizations.
  • A complex network exchanging billions of dollars' worth of goods and services, and assets in the trillions of dollars.

Most of the things we do each day need to be included in our measure of the economy.

Slide 5

Measuring the economy is a complex task. How can we transform the millions and millions of daily transactions in a meaningful way? It is simply not good enough that Statistics Canada reports that the economy is doing better this quarter than last quarter. Governments, businesses and Canadians expect a precise measure. They want to know if the economy grew by 0.2% or 0.5% because believe it or not, in economic terms that is a big difference.

Where do we start and how do we meet Canadians expectations for precise measure?

Slide 6

Thankfully, the economists at Statistics Canada have economic accounting frameworks, which allow them to transform all of the millions and millions of transactions that occur each day into meaningful information. Much the same way an accountant transforms all of the transactions of a business into an income statement and balance sheet, the economists at Statistics Canada transform economic transactions into statements about national income, expenditure and wealth.

Slide 7

Canada is not alone in its desire to provide governments, businesses and its citizens with timely information about the performance of the national economy. Most countries throughout the world provide aggregate measures of economic performance. Because of this, all countries have united to develop an international national economic accounting manual called: the System of National Accounts 2008, or, the National Accounting Framework.

Slide 8

The 2008 SNA answers the questions: What is "the economy" and how is it "doing" by defining the…

  • Concepts and Definitions
  • Accounting Rules
  • Accounts and their sequence; and,
  • Classification Systems

…required to make sense of the millions and millions of transactions that take place each day.

Slide 9

The next few slides attempt to provide you with answers to everything you ever wanted to know about macroeconomic accounting frameworks.

So, let's start with the most basic question: Why is it called National Accounts?

  • A more appropriate name is probably National Economic Accounts. Simply put, the National Economic Accounts are a series of accounts that record and present aggregate (national or country-level) economic activity. Each account provides a unique perspective on the national economy, whether it relates to production, income, investment, financing or wealth.

Slide 10

Are there provincial and territorial national accounts?

  • Yes, Canada is one of the only countries in the world that produces a set of regional economic accounts. We refer to them as the Provincial and Territorial Economic Accounts. They are constructed using the same framework as the National Economic Accounts.

Slide 11

Why is it referred to as a system?

  • It is referred to as a system because it represents a set of interrelated accounts. Each account tells its own story, and each story is connected together to provide Canadians with a complete picture of the economy.

Slide 12

Who wrote the System of National Accounts?

  • The 2008 System of National Accounts is an international macroeconomic accounting standard. The accounting standard is approved by the United Nations as the official worldwide standard. All countries are expected to follow the standard, ensuring that key macroeconomic measures are compatible across countries.
  • The 2008 SNA is currently governed by the United Nations, the Organisation for Economic Development, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and Eurostat.

Slide 13

What role did Canada play in the development of the System of National Accounts?

  • Canada is a member of the 2008 SNA expert advisory group. The role of the advisory expert group is to provide expert advice on the interpretation and updates to the 2008 SNA.
  • The first iteration of the system of national accounts was written in 1953 under the responsibility of the American economist Richard Stone. Canadians George Luxton and Agatha Chapman, who worked at the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, were key contributors.

Slide 14

How often is the System of National Accounts updated?

  • The SNA was first published in 1953. There have been three major updates since that time. One in 1968, one in 1993, and the most recent in 2008.

Slide 15

Why is the System of National Accounts updated?

  • The economy is continuously evolving. The accounting standard used to describe the structure and evolution of the economy must also evolve.

Slide 16

So, what are the key takeaways from this lesson?

  • Canada's National Economic Accounts are produced according to the International Macroeconomic Accounting Manual—the 2008 System of National Accounts.
  • The 2008 SNA outlines the concepts, classifications, and methods required to transform the millions of economic transactions that occur each day into useful information for Canadians.
  • The framework is periodically updated, as are Canada's National Economic Accounts, to ensure they remain relevant for Canadians.

Notice of release of the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2016 Version 1.1

Update and revision process

Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) and Statistics Canada work collaboratively to complete National Occupational Classification (NOC) updates and revisions. Historically, the departments undertook content updates every five years and structural revisions every ten years.

To establish the frequency of updates or revisions, the departments strive to reconcile the need to keep the taxonomy up-to-date with the ability to reflect occupational changes over time, while minimizing disruption to statistical coding and time series analysis. As part of continuous improvement, ESDC and Statistics Canada decided to update the NOC on a more frequent basis. Structural revisions, however, will remain on a ten year cycle.

Acknowledgments

ESDC and Statistics Canada would like to thank everyone who submitted proposals for changes as part of the NOC 2016 update. These proposals are important as they help ensure the consistency, accuracy and relevance of the classification.

Background

In May 2017, ESDC and Statistics Canada invited NOC users to submit proposals for changes to the NOC. The objective of the consultation process was to collect input for the NOC 2016 update and fuel research in preparation for the NOC 2021 revision.

Summary of changes

ESDC and Statistics Canada reviewed the proposed changes that were submitted. Structural changes have not been included in this update; these will be taken into account as part of the NOC 2021 revision.

The following tables list the changes made as part of this update:

Reporting instructions

  • When precise figures are not available, please provide your best estimates.

Definitions

Legal Name
The legal name is one recognized by law, thus it is the name liable for pursuit or for debts incurred by the business or organization. In the case of a corporation, it is the legal name as fixed by its charter or the statute by which the corporation was created.

Modifications to the legal name should only be done to correct a spelling error or typo.

To indicate a legal name of another legal entity you should instead indicate it in question 3 by selecting 'Not currently operational' and then choosing the applicable reason and providing the legal name of this other entity along with any other requested information.

Operating Name
The operating name is a name the business or organization is commonly known as if different from its legal name. The operating name is synonymous with trade name.

Current main activity of the business or organization
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS, are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational unit(s) targeted by this questionnaire only, and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

Question 1

Planted area refers to an area of land that potatoes were planted on during the spring of the reference year.

Question 2

Harvested area refers to an area of land where potatoes were harvested during the fall of the reference year. If harvest is currently not complete, please report the area of land that you expect to harvest.

Question 3

Yield is the measure of a crop produced from single unit of land area.

To calculate: yield = production / harvested area of land

For example, if you produced 2,500 cwt of potatoes on 10 acres of land, yield is 250 cwt per acre.

Production is the amount of crop produced from all harvested land area.

To calculate: production = yield * harvested area of land

For example, if you produced 250 cwt per acre of potatoes and harvested 10 acres, production would be 2,500 cwt.

Question 6

Of the potatoes that were harvested, the percentage that will be marketable are considered to 'make grade'.

For example: 100 pounds of potatoes were harvested, however, only 90% of the potatoes will be marketable/make grade.
Report: 90%

Thank you for your participation.
