It offers an overview of our research project and examples of its findings in forms accessible to non-specialists
It is a platform for sharing the methodological tools we developed for use with the Canadian Century Research Infrastructure microdata files for the 1921, 1931, 1941 and 1951 censuses to analyse the living arrangements and housing situations of never-married individuals in urban Canada.
- We share how we operationalized our central concept, residential autonomy.
- We explain and illustrate how we created census geographies of “urban” Canada.
- We present the variables we created for occupation, ethnoreligious and ethnoracial variables.
- We explain how we used the CCRI microdata to identify the propensities to live in apartment buildings (“multiple unit large dwellings”).
Our syntax files (for use with SPSS and PSPP) are available for downloading from this website and we encourage other researchers to make use of and adapt them for their own projects.
