2001 Census PUMF Individuals File - Needs Updating

An error has been detected in the coding of the variable INCSTP which is contained in the 2001 Census PUMF Individuals File (95M0016XCB รข€“ Re-issued on August 24). The way the variable is currently coded results in a bias. Following a meeting with management on October 17, it was decided to re-issue the file. We will be in a better position to inform you of the re-issue date once we finalize the analysis on the Households and Housing File. We are scheduled to present the content of the Households and Housing File to the Microdata Release Committee on November 21, 2005.

Please notify your users of this finding as soon as possible. Details of the re-issue of the Individuals File as well as release dates for the Families File and the Households and Housing File will be forwarded to you as they become available.

Thank you.
