Status of Women committee  I will be brief. We did a survey on financial security to get a better look at assets and liabilities. Since 1999, we have been calculating the value of pension rights for people who have an employer-sponsored pension plan. The survey has been carried out periodically, the lates

Status of Women committee  We have gathered data on the financial security of families. However, it is difficult to define financial security, i.e. every family member's fair share, when a couple is living together. The characteristics of job, work and pension plans are classified according to gender. Ms.

Status of Women committee  The short answer is no. For this reason, we did this on an economic family basis. You can see that wealth is reported as net worth, namely at the economic family level. As for unattached persons, the statistics below pertain to people who are not part of an economic family. These

Status of Women committee  The green line represents economic families. If the family is a couple, that represents the net worth of the couple's wealth.

Status of Women committee  These are individuals who live alone or individuals who live together without being married.

Status of Women committee  In all honesty, we do not have very much information for this category. If I could add another group, it would be women who live alone and are between 45 and 64 years of age. We really should pay some attention to this group. This is a group that has been identified by Human Res

Status of Women committee  The National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth may provide you with some information on that issue. This survey has been around since 1994 and was sponsored by Human Resources and Social Development. It focuses on the development of children. It contains information on va

Status of Women committee  Garnett Picot wrote that particular article. There have been some questions regarding immigrants and aboriginals. I'd like to do a bit of advertising and state that the census data will be released starting in March. It is really the census data that will enable you to understan

Human Resources committee  If you turn to the slide on page 3 of the handout, you will see a blue line that indicates the trends since 1980. Sorry, I'll go back to English. I switched to French. If we go back to the low-income trends since the early 1980s--in blue you have the LICO after tax rate--as Mr.

Human Resources committee  My presentation will be in English, but please feel free to ask your questions in either French or English. I'd like to thank the members of the committee for having us here. I'm with Garnett Picot. He's the director general of the analysis group, and he's the one who can give y

Human Resources committee  It is actually our last slide. The rest is all supplementary background.

Human Resources committee  But we do have some numbers for low-income single-parent males and single-parent females. We can provide you with those.

Human Resources committee  The MBM. They're going for the MBM.

Human Resources committee  There are definitely limitations with the LICOs. Because the cities are all together, the 500,000-plus, the MBM in that sense gives us a more detailed breakdown. We're working closely with HRSDC to see at some point if we can release MBM at the same time as the LICO. I think Sta

Human Resources committee  I'm not going to comment on the choice of measure. I'll provide you with statistical background, but we wouldn't want to say. But for sure, the MBM provides more geographical detail, and to my mind it's a good thing.
