What's New in the 1998 Edition

This version of Income Trends in Canada contains several new tables that were not available in the previous release. A smaller number of tables have also been deleted, but in almost all cases the information is still available: either some duplication has been eliminated (reducing the number of tables) or the information has been moved to a new section, “Background Tables”.

Other changes are as follows:
 

  1. Median income is provided for all the main income concepts.
  2. Earnings (Series 100) are now cross- classified by industry and occupation.
  3. Tables on income quintiles now show data adjusted for family size using an equivalence scale, in addition to unadjusted data.
  4. A new table in Series 700 shows Gini coefficients, which are useful as a measure of the degree of inequality in incomes.
  5. The tables in Series 800 on low income all have a dimension for after-tax income estimates, as well as those before tax. Several new tables in this series show data on low income by province and census metropolitan area (CMA).
  6. Two new tables show some longitudinal aspects of low income: year-to year transition rates and persistence of low income.
  7. Tables showing income distributions now use a common set of income ranges.
