>>> Training offered as part of the Matinées BADA (Bootcamp in Administrative Data Analysis)

Hybrid and bilingual training. This session will allow participants to develop a familiarity with record linkage approaches. The main characteristics, properties, and limitations of record linkages will be presented. We will focus on linkages between survey and tax data, federal immigration data (IMDB) and tax data. We will also provide an overview of various linkage platforms that integrate a large number of administrative, survey, and Census datasets, including in some cases provincial data. The potential and limitations of these platforms will be discussed, with a focus on the Education and Labour Market Longitudinal Platform (ELMLP), the CEEDD/BEAM business-level data and CanCHEC health data. The session will also include practical examples guiding participants who wish to perform and validate the quality of record linkages.

Databases discussed: Linkages between surveys and tax data, the Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB), the Education and Labour Market Longitudinal Platform (ELMLP), the Canadian Employer-Employee Dynamics Database (CEEDD/BEAM) and the Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohorts (CanCHECs).

Session open to all.
