Survey of Labour & Income Dynamics

Question

I seem to remember that, with the cessation of the Survey of Labour & Income Dynamics (SLID), this data will continue to be collected as part of other surveys, is this correct? Could you explain more to me about this?

Answer

According to the IMBD page for "Summary of changes over time - Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID)" http://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p2SV.pl?Function=getMainChange&InstaId=15506SurvId=3889&SurvVer=2&SDDS=3889

This is the last release from the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics and contains cross-sectional estimates only. Effective with the 2012 reference year, cross-sectional income estimates will be available from the Canadian Income Survey (record number 5200).
Longitudinal estimates are available up to and including 2010.
