More than a century of censuses in Canada. : CS89-200002/2019-1E-PDF
"The Census of Population is unquestionably the Statistics Canada survey that Canadians are most familiar with, as households are called on to participate every five years. The overall response rate for the last census, held in 2016, was 98.4%, while the response rate for the long-form questionnaire was 97.8%. As a result, the census provided an accurate portrait of the population. Censuses have long helped Canadians and organizations to develop services and make decisions based on the data collected through this major statistical undertaking. Although Statistics Canada is celebrating its 100th birthday this year, censuses were conducted in Canada well before the national statistical agency was created. Interestingly, censuses of the population have existed for thousands of years, and their usefulness has evolved over the years, as has the type of data collected. This article provides a brief historical overview of censuses around the world, with emphasis on their evolution in Canada"--Introduction, page 3.
