Studying families using tax data
>>> Training offered as part of the Matinées BADA (Bootcamp in Administrative Data Analysis)
Hybrid and bilingual training. Canadian tax data includes detailed information on family structure and family relationships. In this session based on recent research in demography, sociology and economics, we will discuss what types of family dynamics can be observed cross-sectionally and longitudinally in Canadian administrative data, with a focus on data derived from personal tax records. Topics include couple dissolution and reconstituted families, same-sex couples, measures of fertility and the presence of children, extended kinship networks and intergenerational transmission.
Databases discussed: Longitudinal administrative data (LAD) and other tax datasets.
Session open to all.
