North American Industry
Classification System - NAICS Canada 2007 |
The North American Industry Classification
System is a classification system used for organizing economic data and
provides a common standard framework for the collection of economic and
financial data for all three countries. The revised Canadian manual for the
North American Industry Classification System, NAICS Canada 2007,
is used for organizing economic data by industry, and is used by Canada, Mexico
and the United States.
The North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) 2007 supersedes NAICS 2002. NAICS is revised on a five-year
cycle in order to ensure that the classification continues to reflect the
rapidly changing structure of the economy. NAICS 2007 groups economic activity
into 20 sectors and 928 Canadian industries.
In this revision, the
Information and Cultural Industries sector has been further updated to reflect
rapid changes occurring in this area. These have led to the merger of a number
of Internet-related industries. The revision also reflects the outcome of a
convergence project among North American, European and United Nations
statistical agencies. The objective of the project was to achieve greater
comparability between NAICS, the International Standard Industrial
Classification and the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the
European Community. This has led to the redefinition of a number of the classes
within each of the three classifications.
NAICS was jointly developed
by three agencies: the Instituto Nacional de Estadística,
Geografía e Informática of Mexico; the United States Office of
Management and Budget; and Statistics Canada. The goal was to provide a
consistent framework for the collection, analysis and dissemination of
industrial statistics used by government policy analysts, academics and
researchers, the business community and the public.
This revision makes
industrial statistics produced in the three countries even more comparable. The
revision is scheduled to go into effect for the reference year 2007 in Canada
and the United States, and for 2009 in Mexico. NAICS was developed to provide a
consistent framework for the collection, analysis and dissemination of
industrial statistics used by government policy analysts, academics and
researchers, the business community and the public. |
