About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Canadian by race. It includes the population of Canadian across racial categories (excluding ethnicity) as identified by the Census Bureau. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Canadian across relevant racial categories.

Key observations

The percent distribution of Canadian population by race (across all racial categories recognized by the U.S. Census Bureau): 87.26% are white, 3.30% are American Indian and Alaska Native and 9.43% are multiracial.

Content

Racial categories include:

• White
• Black or African American
• American Indian and Alaska Native
• Asian
• Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander
• Some other race
• Two or more races (multiracial)

Variables / Data Columns

• Race: This column displays the racial categories (excluding ethnicity) for the Canadian
• Population: The population of the racial category (excluding ethnicity) in the Canadian is shown in this column.
• % of Total Population: This column displays the percentage distribution of each race as a proportion of Canadian total population. Please note that the sum of all percentages may not equal one due to rounding of values.

Good to know

Margin of Error

Data in the dataset are based on the estimates and are subject to sampling variability and thus a margin of error. Neilsberg Research recommends using caution when presening these estimates in your research.

Data on immigrant status and period of immigration by place of birth, citizenship, age and gender for the population in private households in Canada, provinces and territories, census metropolitan areas and parts.

The dataset is based on Statistics Canada census data spanning four census periods (2001, 2006, 2016, and 2021). The dataset captures population statistics disaggregated by ethnicity at the Dissemination Area (DA) level—the smallest standard geographic unit for census data dissemination, covering approximately 400-700 people per unit. For Toronto, this encompasses approximately 3,700 DAs, providing high spatial resolution for analyzing urban dynamics. The dataset includes detailed population counts for the five largest ethnic groups in Toronto: China, India, Philippines, Portugal, and Sri Lanka. The features are also extracted from census datasets and 298 socioeconomic and demographic features from the census data, organized into 12 categories:Demographics: Population age structure, household composition, and family sizeHousing: Dwelling types, ownership status, housing values, and maintenance needsFamily Structure: Marriage patterns, presence of children, household typesIncome: Median household and individual income, income sourcesEmployment: Labor force participation, employment/unemployment ratesMobility & Migration: Internal and external migration patterns, non-permanent residentsVisible Minorities: Population distribution by visible minority statusLanguage: Official language use, mother tongue, and multilingual capabilitiesOccupation: Employment categories across economic sectorsReligion: Religious affiliations and practicesIndustry: Distribution across industry sectorsPlace of Birth: Country of origin information

Data on the immigrant population by place of birth, period of immigration, gender and age for the population in private households in Canada.

Abstract

This study provides an update on measures of educational attainment for a broad cross section of countries. In our previous work (Barro and Lee, 1993), we constructed estimates of educational attainment by sex for persons aged 25 and over. The values applied to 129 countries over a five-year intervals from 1960 to 1985.

The present study adds census information for 1985 and 1990 and updates the estimates of educational attainment to 1990. We also have been able to add a few countries, notably China, which were previously omitted because of missing data.

Dataset:

Educational attainment at various levels for the male and female population. The data set includes estimates of educational attainment for the population by age - over age 15 and over age 25 - for 126 countries in the world. (see Barro, Robert and J.W. Lee, "International Measures of Schooling Years and Schooling Quality, AER, Papers and Proceedings, 86(2), pp. 218-223 and also see "International Data on Education", manuscipt.) Data are presented quinquennially for the years 1960-1990;

Educational quality across countries. Table 1 presents data on measures of schooling inputs at five-year intervals from 1960 to 1990. Table 2 contains the data on average test scores for the students of the different age groups for the various subjects.Please see Jong-Wha Lee and Robert J. Barro, "Schooling Quality in a Cross-Section of Countries," (NBER Working Paper No.w6198, September 1997) for more detailed explanation and sources of data.
