As reported by the most recent Canadian census data, *** percent of the Canadian population aged 15-19 were non-binary. While gender non-binarity concerns a small portion of the population, this proportion is much higher than among Canadians over **. A similar observation can be made regarding transgender people: while the trans population represents only **** percent of Canadians, **** percent of 15-19 year olds were transgender men or women, compared with **** percent among 50-54 year olds.

With the recent additions of gender identity and gender expression to the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code as well as some sources of administrative data changing from sex to gender, it is necessary to distinguish the concepts of sex and gender within the National Statistical System. In response, Statistics Canada has released a revised variable, 'sex of person', a new variable, 'gender of person' and their related classifications.

In 2019, two-thirds of sexually and gender-diverse Canadians aged 15 to 17 reported being made fun of, or called names or insulted by others, ten percentage points more than cisgender and heterosexual youth of the same age. The second most common type of bullying for which there was a gap between cisgender/heterosexual and minority youth was being excluded from certain activities (*** percentage points).

Gender and sexual diversity youth include people who are transgender or non-binary (regardless of sexual attraction) and/or who experience same-gender attraction.

**** percent of the Canadian population was non-cisgender in 2021, according to census data. The province with the highest proportion of non-cisgender people was Nova Scotia, with almost *** percent of the population. In this province, as in the others, the proportion of non-cisgender people was highest among Canadians aged 15 to 34 (**** percent).

This data reference standard provides a standard list of values to categorize data on person(s). The list reflects the classifications of gender and is designed to provide common data variables of the reported gender of person(s) or an individual’s personal and social gender identity. This data reference standard is to be read in conjunction with the Policy Direction to Modernize the Government of Canada’s Sex and Gender Information Practices and the Disaggregated Data Action Plan. This list of values is intended to standardize the way gender classifications are described in datasets to enable data interoperability and improve data quality. The appendix lists a data reference table that includes one-digit codes for designating gender. Not included in this data reference standard is an additional two-digit code for further classification. This data reference standard will be reviewed as required by the data reference steward in consultation with the data reference standard custodian.

In order to facilitate data comparisons between censuses, previous census data have been adjusted to reflect as closely as possible the 2021 boundaries of these areas. The methodology used for this adjustment involved spatially linking blocks of previous censuses (concordance to the 1996 Census used the 1996 enumeration areas to the 2021 boundaries). A previous census block was linked to the 2021 area within which its representative point fell. A limited number of interactive linkages were completed to further enhance the adjustment in certain areas. For some census geographies, it was not possible to reflect the 2021 boundaries. The 2021 boundaries may not be reflected as there was no previous census block to assign to the 2021 area. As well previous census data for some 2021 areas may not be available due to the fact that the concordance did not produce an accurate representation of the 2021 area.2 Gender Gender refers to an individual's personal and social identity as a man, woman or non-binary person (a person who is not exclusively a man or a woman). Gender includes the following concepts: gender identity, which refers to the gender that a person feels internally and individually; gender expression, which refers to the way a person presents their gender, regardless of their gender identity, through body language, aesthetic choices or accessories (e.g., clothes, hairstyle and makeup), which may have traditionally been associated with a specific gender. A person's gender may differ from their sex at birth, and from what is indicated on their current identification or legal documents such as their birth certificate, passport or driver's licence. A person's gender may change over time. Some people may not identify with a specific gender.3 Given that the non-binary population is small, data aggregation to a two-category gender variable is sometimes necessary to protect the confidentiality of responses provided. In these cases, individuals in the category “non-binary persons” are distributed into the other two gender categories and are denoted by the “+” symbol. The sex variable in census years prior to 2021 and the two-category gender variable in the 2021 Census are included together. Although sex and gender refer to two different concepts, the introduction of gender is not expected to have a significant impact on data analysis and historical comparability, given the small size of the transgender and non-binary populations. For additional information on changes of concepts over time, please consult the Age, Sex at Birth and Gender Reference Guide.4 Age' refers to the age of a person (or subject) of interest at last birthday (or relative to a specified, well-defined reference date).5 First official language spoken refers to the first official language (English or French) spoken by the person.6 Immigrant status refers to whether the person is a non-immigrant, an immigrant or a non-permanent resident. Period of immigration refers to the period in which the immigrant first obtained landed immigrant or permanent resident status. For more information on immigration variables, including information on their classifications, the questions from which they are derived, data quality and their comparability with other sources of data, please refer to the Place of Birth, Generation Status, Citizenship and Immigration Reference Guide, Census of Population, 2021.7 Generation status refers to whether or not the person or the person's parents were born in Canada.8 "Visible minority refers to whether a person is a visible minority or not, as defined by the Employment Equity Act. The Employment Equity Act defines visible minorities as persons other than Aboriginal peoples who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour." The visible minority population consists mainly of the following groups: South Asian, Chinese, Black, Filipino, Arab, Latin American, Southeast Asian, West Asian, Korean, and Japanese.9 For more information on language variables, including information on their classifications, the questions from which they are derived, data quality and their comparability with other sources of data, please refer to the Languages Reference Guide, Census of Population, 2021.10 Non-immigrants' includes persons who are Canadian citizens by birth.11 Immigrants' includes persons who are, or who have ever been, landed immigrants or permanent residents. Such persons have been granted the right to live in Canada permanently by immigration authorities. Immigrants who have obtained Canadian citizenship by naturalization are included in this category. In the 2021 Census of Population, 'Immigrants' includes immigrants who were admitted to Canada on or prior to May 11, 2021.12 Non-permanent residents' includes persons from another country with a usual place of residence in Canada and who have a work or study permit or who have claimed refugee status (asylum claimants). Family members living with work or study permit holders are also included, unless these family members are already Canadian citizens, landed immigrants or permanent residents.13 First generation' includes persons who were born outside Canada. For the most part, these are people who are now, or once were, immigrants to Canada.14 Second generation' includes persons who were born in Canada and had at least one parent born outside Canada. For the most part, these are the children of immigrants.15 "Refers to the proportion of youth aged 15 to 29 who were not in employment during the census reference week (in 2021, the reference week is May 2 to May 8) and who had not attended any accredited educational institution or program in the eight months preceding the census day (for example, in 2021 this period is between September 2020 and 11 May 2021). The Labor Force Survey (LFS) is the main data source for calculating national estimates of the youth not in employment, education, or training indicator, commonly known as NEET." This indicator is calculated using data from the first quarter or the average of the first three months of the calendar year which excludes summer employment. This LFS-based indicator is published on an annual basis and is used for international comparisons. The NEET indicator has regularly published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) since the late 1990s. However the census and other data sources such as social surveys like the Canadian Community Health Survey serve a different purpose. These data sources provide more specialized data that allowed deeper analysis of specific sociodemographic characteristics and conditions for a given population group which is a rich complement to understand the context and the factors behind the NEET estimates provided by the LFS. Although the Census of the Canadian population and the Labor Force Survey (LFS) measure similar concepts linked to labour market activities there are several fundamental differences between the characteristics of the two concept that measure the population of youth not in employment education or training. The most important of these differences is that in the LFS the reference period for school attendance and the reference period for employment are the same whereas in the Census they are different. Other differences between the census and the LFS include the length of the reference period the number of questions and their content the sample size the enumeration method and the coverage. For more information about the comparability of labour force status data from the Census of Population versus that of the LFS please consult the Appendix 2.11 from the Dictionary Census of Population 2021. which excludes summer employment.
