Presented in almanac style, the Canada Year Book
contains tables, charts and succinct analytical articles on every major area of
Statistics Canada's expertise. The 2011 edition has been expanded to just over
500 pages to include international comparisons and online search terms that
help readers find updated and related data on Statistic Canada's
website.
The Canada Year Book is the premier reference on the
social and economic life of Canada and its citizens. |

- What percentage of Canadians are either college or
university graduates? How do we compare with other countries?
- What is Canada's rate of population growth? Our
life expectancy? Our average age? Our crime rate per capita?
- Which region has the highest proportion of older
people? The most immigrants? The greatest number of Aboriginal people?
- How did the economic downturn affect Canadians?
Employment? Spending? International Trade?
The 31 chapters in this year's edition contain over
500 pages of analysis, charts, maps and tables in an easy-to-use format, with
data from many of Statistics Canada's latest surveys and the census.
Each
chapter covers issues and trends that influenced Canada during the year, such
as the aging of the population, energy consumption and conservation, and
Canada's economic recovery following the 2008-2009 downturn.
For the
first time, an "International perspective" page in almost every chapter
provides charts showing a quick comparison between Canada and other
Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) nations. For
example, in the chapter on population and demography, the International
perspective page shows Canada's total fertility rate was 1.66 births per woman
aged 15 to 49 in 2007. This compares with 2.12 in the United States and 1.68
across the OECD. In the chapter on the economy, it shows that Canada's gross
domestic product per capita in 2008 was US$38,975, seventh among OECD
countries. Canada's average was above the OECD average of
US$33,732.
Feature articles cover topics such as demographic changes in
the population, as well as its ethnic makeup; an analysis of various sectors in
the economy including international trade in goods and services, retail and
wholesale trade, agriculture, transportation, energy, services, construction
and manufacturing; an analysis of environmental issues; crime, health, the
labour force, travel patterns and a look at how Canadians use technology to
address life changes.
First published in 1867, the Canada Year
Book has become the premier reference resource on the social and economic
life of Canadians.
The Canada Year Book presents information
about Canada in a way that all Canadians find accessible, useful and
interesting. It's a treasure trove of information on Canadian society and
today's issues and trends, such as Canada's aging population, online shopping,
gas prices and new energy technologies.
Canada Year Book's
extensive collection of statistical tables and charts, paint an objective and
timely portrait of Canada's changing society.
