INTRODUCTION

This public-use microdata tape is the latest available using Canadian Family Expenditure Survey data. The survey was carried out in January, February and March 1991 and refers to calendar year 1990.

The Survey of Family Expenditure of 1990 is the first since 1986. The 1990 was designed to provide information for persons living in private households in the 17 metropolitan areas of Canada. In contrast, the coverage of the 1986 survey included both urban and rural areas in the ten provinces of Canada as well as Whitehorse and Yellowknife. For confidentiality reasons, data from Whitehorse and Yellowknife were excluded from the 1986 file. Users should note that data on detailed food expenditure for 1990 were collected in a separate survey (see

Statistics Canada Catalogue Number 62-554). The Food Survey had the same coverage as the Family Expenditure Survey of 1990. Records from Charlottetown and Summerside have been excluded from both the 1990 files.

This documentation of the tape is intended to help users interpret family expenditure data correctly. The record layout gives the basic content of the file with the names of the items, their field number and position on the file. The record layout (tape) consists of 6 main sections:

Location

Housing

Characteristics of Reference Person

Characteristics of Spouse of Reference Person

Household Description

Expenditure

The section called "Variable Descriptions" gives the components of each item, the area in the questionnaire from which the variable was derived, and clarifying notes if needed.

In the "Technical Descriptions" section the sample design and data collection procedures are discussed along with a user guide area. The user guide area is especially important to users who are using other sources of statistics in conjunction with the family expenditure data.

Appendix A shows summary family expenditure information by region and family income. These tables show information before and after the reweighting, which was done to safeguard the identity of respondents. (Also to illustrate the effect of the complex sample design the standard errors for average expenditures are shown based on a technique which allows for sample design compared with a standard package version which assumes simple random sampling.)

Appendix B contains a list of the detailed items which are available from this survey. The list also shows which expenditure items are included on the microdata tape.

A copy of the questionnaire used to collect the expenditure data is included with the package. The questionnaire or schedule (FEX 2) was used to list all members of the household along with some of their characteristics and to collect the expenditures, income and other information from the household.

It is recommended that, as well as reading this documentation, users obtain a copy of "Family Expenditures in Canada, 1990", Catalogue 62-555 which contains further information on the survey as well as tabulated results. This publication will be available in the summer of 1992.

VARIABLE DESCRIPTIONS

LOCATION

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

This variable is a unique five-digit number which identifies each

household on the file. The numbers begin at 00001 and end at 4,569. The

file is sorted by Region (field 3), and Income Before Taxes (field 86)

(i.e. income within region). The region code was masked (i.e. made

equal to zero) for 7 extreme records. These records will be numbered

00001 to 00007. The lowest income in the Atlantic provinces would have

number 00008 and the highest income in British Columbia would have the

largest identification number.

FAMEX WEIGHT

In order to provide estimates applicable to the population in the 17

metropolitan areas, it is necessary to weight each record by a weighting

factor. This weighting factor reflects the variation in sampling and

response rates between geographic areas and household types. As

compared with previously released results, records have been reweighted

to mask location within region. The reweighting process has attempted

to minimize the differences between the averages and aggregates before

and after reweighting. The revised weights were formed where necessary

by averaging the weights between records within geographical areas by

income and household size. As was noted in the description of the

identification number the geographic code of 7 records were suppressed.

Tabulations of average income and expenditure by various classifying

variables before and after the reweighting of records are presented in

Appendix A. The differences in the values are attributable to the

reweighting of records.

Note:

The status as of December 31, 1990 determines the group to which the

household belongs. Mixed tenure is defined as having owned for only

part of the year and rented for only part of the year. Because of the

dynamic nature of a household, it is possible for one or more members of

the household to have, for part of the year, a different tenure status

than the other members. Therefore, for example, a household classified

as a renter may have homeowner expenditures.

- Change in principal of mortgage is the same as the payment on principal of mortgage which was used in the 1982 file except for households who purchased or sold a home in 1990. For the latter group while the 1982 series can be adjusted to allow for amounts added to principal at the time of purchase, some inconsistencies exist in the earlier series in the treatment of payments on principal at the time of sale making exact comparisons difficult, if not impossible, at this stage.

- this field may be negative.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONS

SAMPLE DESIGN AND IMPLICATIONS

The 1990 Family Expenditure Survey (FAMEX) was a multistage stratified clustered sample selected from the Labour Force Survey sampling frame. The sampling methodology was the same as employed in the Labour Force Survey.

A detailed explanation of the Labour Force Survey sampling frame can be found in the Methodology of the Canadian Labour Force Survey, 1984-1990: Statistics Canada Catalogue No. 71-526.

The sample is designed to represent persons living in private households in the 17 metropolitan areas for which separate CPIs are published, with the following exceptions:

- residents of Indian Reserves;

- patients and inmates living full-time in collective households such as old age homes, penal institutions, and hospitals;

- families of official representatives of foreign countries.

Excluded from this file are part-year households (see the section on the "Treatment of Changes During Reference Year" below) and all records from Charlottetown and Summerside.

Because of varying sampling and response ratios each record on file has a weight attached to it. The FAMEX unit weight is explained in greater detail in the variable description section. Each variable on the file must be multiplied by the weight in order to produce valid statistical estimates of population parameters such as means, medians, modes, estimated numbers and aggregates.

The appropriateness of using these sample survey weights in regression analysis is a complex issue. A useful summary of the issue is presented in DuMouchel and Duncan (1983) "Using Sample Survey Weights in Multiple Regression Analysis of Stratified Samples". Journal of the American Statistical Association Volume 78, September 1983, pp 535-543.

Since a multistage stratified clustered sample design was employed, standard error estimates based on the usual simple random formula generally underestimate the true standard errors. Information necessary to estimate the standard errors are not given on this file. However, as an illustration of the differences, tables of standard errors have been calculated and are included in this documentation in Appendix A. The table includes standard errors of averages calculated allowing for the complexity of the sample design. For further information see the uncatalogued paper "An Investigation of Variance Estimation in Family Expenditure Surveys" and associated bibliography.

Most regression programs are not capable of considering design effects, even if the relevant information were available. However, generalized programs such as SAS, BMDP and SPSS produce coefficients using weighted least squares. The standard errors calculated by SPSS are much too low because the sum of the weights is used for the degrees of freedom. This can be corrected by dividing the weight on each record by the sum of the weights and multiplying by the sample size. This transformation will produce standard errors equivalent to those produced by SAS and BMDP.

DATA COLLECTION

The survey was conducted in the same manner as earlier surveys of family expenditure. The interviewer was first required to list all members of the household at the time of the survey plus any additional persons who were part of the household during the reference year. Then the individuals that composed the household during the reference year and the number of weeks they were eligible members were determined. The interviewer then completed a detailed questionnaire for each household. (A facsimile of the Schedule (FEX 2) was sent with the tape.)

The collection of expenditures by recall and reference to records for the previous year imposes a considerable task on both the interviewer and the respondent, necessitating lengthy interviews and frequently more than one visit in order to obtain complete information. It is considered that the calendar year provides boundaries which are apt to be more clearly defined in the respondent's mind than any other 12-month period. Purchases of large items, automobiles, chesterfield suites, etc., may be recalled fairly readily. This is also the case with rent, property taxes and monthly payments on mortgages. Food expenditure,

which comprises one seventh of the average budget, can be estimated in terms of weekly or monthly expenses. Expenses on smaller items, which are purchased at regular intervals, are usually estimated on the basis of amount and frequency of purchase. The accuracy of other expenditures, such as those for clothing or materials for home repairs, depends upon the ability of the respondent to remember individual purchases, at a considerable level of detail, or his willingness to consult records such as cancelled cheques, receipts, contractual

agreements and other documents.

USER GUIDE TO CONCEPTS

In using data from the Survey of Family Expenditures in 1990 (FAMEX) on this file, particularly in conjunction with data from the Surveys of Consumer Finances (SCF), the user should have regard to the following:

- differences in the concepts and definitions used in FAMEX and SCF;

- the treatment of changes in household composition, location, tenure and type of dwelling, etc., for FAMEX;

- part-year households and the significance of their exclusion from the file.

HOUSEHOLD

Household is defined as a person or a group of persons occupying one dwelling unit. The number of households will therefore be equal to the number of occupied dwellings. The person or persons occupying a private dwelling form a private household. Never married sons or daughters living with their parents are considered as part of their parents' household. In the great majority of cases the members of households of two or more are related by blood, marriage or adoption and are thus consistent with the "economic family" definition employed in Surveys of Consumer Finances (a group of individuals sharing a common dwelling unit and related by blood, marriage or adoption). The definition of family

employed by the population census restricts the family to a husband and wife (with or without children who have never been married, regardless of age) or a parent with one or more children never married, living in the same dwelling. Individual or one-person households are financially independent persons living alone or as roomers.

Since this survey covers a full calendar year rather than one point in time, membership for the year was reconstructed. In addition to persons who were members of the current household for 52 weeks in 1990, the household also includes household membership time for a) persons who were members for only part of the year and have left, and b) persons who had lived elsewhere before joining the current household but not with a household still in existence.

COMPARABILITY

Household Characteristics: The unit of observation for previous Surveys of Family Expenditure was the "spending unit" - a group of people living in the same dwelling who depend on a common or pooled income for major expenses or one financially independent individual living alone. The 1990 survey abandoned this concept in favour of private household units. The definitions of the characteristic categories may therefore differ from a survey to another.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FAMEX AND SCF IN THE CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS

- The family unit is defined differently in the two surveys. See definition of household above.

- There are differences in the treatment of the composition of the household. The family expenditure surveys reconstruct the household as it existed during the year, the income surveys consider the family unit as it is constituted at the time of the interview.

- Differences in the treatment of income receipts and income tax. (See the Variable Descriptions Section).

- Differences in population covered (for example persons in religious institutions).

A non-catalogue publication discussing differences between the Survey of Family Expenditures and the Survey of Consumer Finances entitled "Income of Spending Units and Economic Families: A Study of Concepts and Relationships" is available on request from the Family Expenditure Surveys Section, Household Surveys Division, Statistics Canada.

TREATMENT OF CHANGES DURING REFERENCE YEAR

Household Composition

The specific rules adopted in reconstructing the household as it existed during the year, has at least 3 consequences:

- some records include part-year as well as full-year members;

- some records are for part-year households (i.e. comprises only part-year members);

- some records are formed by merging records for persons who formed separate households for part of the year.

Part-year Persons

Incomes and expenditures are reported only for the period they are a member. Their presence and significance can be determined by the field "number of person weeks a member".

Part-year Households

They included families and individuals who were, for part of the survey year, members of other households, immigrant families and individuals who arrived during the year and also Canadians who returned from living abroad or who were members of collective households. Their records are not contained on this file. Their importance is discussed in "Family Expenditure in Canada, 1990" (62-555).

Merged Records

If, for example, both persons prior to marriage were one-person households their records when separate can be combined with their joint record when married to provide a single record for the full-year. Such a record may not contain part-year members, but it can have implications for some of classifications and expenditures, e.g., a unit classified as homeowner for the full-year may report expenditure on rent.

Location

According to the survey, the following percentage of households moved during the year:

Homeowners Renters Mixed Tenure Total

Moved 13.03 65.57 21.40 100.00

Moved in same area (city) 9.05 52.26 14.95 76.27

Moved from a different area 3.98 13.31 6.45 23.73

Moving is therefore an important consideration for tenants and mixed tenure, but only for mixed tenure is moving from a different area significant. Most of the housing characteristics refer to the dwelling (or living quarters) occupied at December 31, 1990, so that for renters in particular the link between housing characteristics and expenditures, particularly rent and water, fuel and electricity could be somewhat tenuous.

Tenure

Changes in tenure (Mixed tenure) during the year are only reported by about 3.5% of households; that is from renting to homeowning or vice versa. These households are identified in the class of tenure field (field 10). Changes with respect to mortgage status for homeowners or status change from regular renter to other type of renter are not identified as such, and their status is simply given as at December 31, 1990.
