Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics               2003  (slid)

Abstract:

The cross-sectional public-use microdata file for the Survey of Labour and
Income Dynamics (SLID) is a collection of income, labour and family variables
on persons in Canada and their families. This file includes many safeguards to
prevent the identification of any one person.

Although often referred to as a single file, the SLID public-use microdata
file is actually four separate files: key, person, economic family and
census family.

The person file contains identifier data, which allows a researcher to
group persons into households, economic families and census families, as
well as link each of these files together.
