Technical report on changes in response related to the census ethnic origin question : focus on Jewish origins, 2016 Census integrated with 2011 National Household Survey / by Trevor Smith and Scott McLeish.: CS89-657/2019-9E-PDF

"According to the 2016 Census, 143,665 individuals living in Canada reported Jewish as an ethnic origin (single and multiple responses combined). This number was 53.6% lower than the 309,650 persons reporting Jewish ethnic origins on the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS). This followed a steady, but previously less precipitous, decline in those reporting Jewish origins since the 1991 Census. By examining changes in individuals' responses over time, this study demonstrates that this overall decline was not the result of demographic changes but instead due to respondents being less likely to report Jewish origins from census to census, especially between 2011 and 2016"--Executive summary, page 1.
