(GSS 1998) License: Access restricted to University of Saskatchewan faculty, staff and studens for non-commerical study and research by DLI license agreement. http://library.usask.ca/data/dli/dlilicense.html Errata April 2001: See note below about FAMTYPE and other variables. Abstract: Cycle 12 collected data from persons 15 years and older. The core content of time use repeats that of Cycle 7 (1992) and Cycle 2 (1986), and provides data on the daily activities of Canadians. Question modules were also included on unpaid work activities, cultural activities and participation in sports. The target population of the General Social Survey consisted of all individuals aged 15 and over living in a private household in one of the ten provinces.

Unfortunately, the user of the PUMF cannot check whether the respondent was living in such a household since the number of families is not included in the file. The counts for the LFSHSD12 variable were modified to include those respondents in a common-law relationship, who were not retained as having a spouse in the first counts. The counts for the 'not stated' and 'not applicable' values for variables in the section concerning therespondent’s spouse (variables ACMPRWEC, G3, WKWEPR, WKWEHRPR, WKDYPR, G7, G8ST, G8EN, G9ST, G9EN, WKDYHRPR, G10, G10A, G11, G11A, G12, EDUPR10) were modified to include spouses in a same-sex common-law relationship. The latter are now found in the 'not applicable' category rather than the 'not stated' category, since the questions in this section were not asked. Thank you for your understanding.
