Quebec Universities' Financial Information

Question:

I have a student who is looking for statistical information about equipment purchases made by Quebec universities for the following years: 1980, 1982, 1985, 1988, 1989, 1992, 1994, 1998, 2000, 2005 et 2007. 

Answer:

The best place to look would be the Financial Information of Universities and Colleges Survey (http://www.statcan.gc.ca/cgi-bin/imdb/p2SV.pl?Function=getSurvey&SDDS=3121&lang=fr&db=imdb&adm=8&dis=2). The Financial Information of Universities and Colleges Survey was developed to provide financial information (income and expenditures) on all universities and degree-granting colleges in Canada. Clicking on 'other reference periods' (located in the left-side menu bar), will allow you to explore other time periods.

Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS)

Hello,

We received the following question off list about the field of study groups in the Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS) files the DLI receives. We are sharing it through the dlilist as it may be of interest to other DLI contacts.

Question

I just downloaded PSIS files for a professor. The fields of study are a bit broad for him. He wants to know whether there is any information on what is included under each field.

Answer

The 12 fields in the University enrolments, by province of study and by field of study, annual (number), 1992-1993 to 2008-2009 PSIS table the DLI receives are the "Special Aggregation Structure: Primary Groupings" (http://www.statcan.gc.ca/subjects-sujets/standard-norme/instruction/cip-cpe-spec2000-eng.htm). The division responsible for PSIS also referred us to the Field of Study - Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP2000) codesC which will show your client how the finer levels of the CIP are assigned to these primary groupings:

"Field of Study - Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP2000) codes

The combination of the program names, program codes and specialization or major field of study provided by the postsecondary institutions is classified using the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP2000), the official classification used at Statistics Canada for the classification of program(s) of study. The CIP taxonomy provides more than 1200 codes and is organized on three (3) levels: a 2-digit series, a 4-digit series, and a 6-digit program level. Please refer to: http://stds.statcan.gc.ca/cip-cpe/2digit-2chiffres-eng.asp

National Graduates Survey

Question

Good afternoon everyone!

Can someone please confirm that the name of the Institution for the respondents in NGS exists in the Master Files? I have a Graduate student looking to apply for RDC access but needs to know whether she will be able to identify the educational institutions in the file? Also would it be possible to obtain a copy of the questionnaire for the Master Files? The questionnaire that we have access to states that it is the "Release Questionnaire" which leads me to believe it is the questionnaire that links to our PUMF files.

Answer

Our education contacts have confirmed that it is not possible to identify the institution on the NGS Master file and that there is only one questionnaire (which is the same for the PUMF and the master file). They sent me one as an example and it also includes the expression "Release Questionnaire".

Additional Question

I have to admit that this is a bit shocking - I thought for sure we'd be able to identify institutions. So I have to ask is there any geographic identifiers in the Master file? I don't see any in the PUMF.

Answer

The author division has indicated that the analytical file includes a provincial level geographic identifier.

Inter-Provincial Migration - Students (Additional Question)

Question

Hi all,

This is a similar question to previously asked, but I thought I'd give it a shot to see if there might be a special publication or another source I might be missing.

I have a researcher looking for data on student mobility between the Canadian provinces in the past 10 years. She's specifically interested in students from Atlantic Canadian provinces who migrate to other Atlantic provinces for university purposes.

I'm fairly certain universities themselves have this data through their registration records, but is there anything else I can suggest?

Answer

The following Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS) table may be of interest: University enrolments, by province of residence of study, annual (number), 1992/1993 to 2008/2009. It shows the province in which the student resided when they first applied to university crossed by the province they are studying in and is available on the DLI FTP or the DLI website at http://www.statcan.gc.ca/dli-ild/data-donnees/ftp/psis-siep-eng.htm. (I asked our education contacts about this table and they indicated that it could be helpful but also mentioned that one of the variables is sometimes not well-reported, and that its use may be limited.)

Our education contacts also indicated that the National Graduates Survey (NGS) includes variables that could be used to study student mobility. The NGS was however only conducted in 1990, 1995, 2000 and 2005 and the researcher would need to apply for access through a RDC or submit a request for custom (fee based) data because the variables of interest aren't on the public use microdata file. Our contacts also explained that "The NGS survey is using graduating students only (students who graduated and left the province and completed a diploma), more specifically: Among all of the graduates who lived in the Atlantic provinces before studying, who graduated in 2005, x% left the Atlantic provinces and x% did not."

I hope that this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions.

Elementary Teachers in Ontario

Question

I have the following research question:

"I am looking for information (from 2006) about employment of
elementary teachers in Ontario. More specifically, I'm looking to find out information about the distribution of gender across elementary school teachers at that time."

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Answer

The following products may be of interest to your client.

The Elementary-Secondary Education Statistics Project (ESESP) tables in the DLI collection provide number of educators in elementary and secondary public schools, by sex in Ontario for 2005/2006 and 2006/2007 (elementary and secondary are grouped together however and the data is on "educators" - this is explained in the notes at the bottom of the tables).
http://www.statcan.gc.ca/dli-ild/data-donnees/ftp/esesp-pseps-eng.htm

The following 2006 Census topic based tabulations on occupation have provincial level data by sex and National Occupational Classification for Statistics 2006 including “E132 Elementary school and kindergarten teachers”.

Occupation - National Occupational Classification for Statistics 2006 (720), Class of Worker (6) and Sex (3) for the Labour Force 15 Years and Over of Canada, Provinces, Territories, Census Metropolitan Areas and Census Agglomerations, 2006 Census - 20% Sample Data (97-559-XCB2006011)

Occupation - National Occupational Classification for Statistics 2006 (720C), Sex (3) and Selected Demographic, Cultural, Labour Force, Educational and Income Characteristics (273) for the Population 15 Years and Over of Canada, Provinces, Territories, Census Metropolitan Areas and Census Agglomerations, 2006 Census - 20% Sample Data (97-564-XCB2006005)
(Available at: http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2006/dp-pd/tbt/Lp-eng.cfm?LANG=E&APATH=3&DETAIL=0&DIM=0&FL=A&FREE=0&GC=0&GID=0&GK=0&GRP=1&PID=0&PRID=0&PTYPE=88971,97154&S=0&SHOWALL=0&SUB=743&Temporal=2006&THEME=74&VID=0&VNAMEE=&VNAMEF=)
This Labour Force Survey CANSIM table also provides data by NOC-S but I suspect that the occupation breakdown available here is too general for your client.

CANSIM Table 282-0010 Labour force survey estimates (LFS), by National Occupational Classification for Statistics (NOC-S) and sex, annual (persons unless otherwise noted)
v2372853 Ontario; Labour force (x 1,000); Teachers and professors [E1, E130]; Males (annual, 1987 to 2010)
v2373057 Ontario; Labour force (x 1,000); Teachers and professors [E1, E130]; Females (annual, 1987 to 2010)

If these products don't meet your client's needs, we would be happy to confirm if other data are available on a cost recovery basis as a custom tabulation.

Organizations such as provincial teachers' federations may also publish relevant statistics in their publications so you may wish to look into this as well.
