Stats Can plans ‘contactless’ census for 2021 in response to COVID-19

Shomporko Desk:-OTTAWA – Statistics Canada is working on plans to convey a “contactless census” next May if COVID-19 stays a threat.

Officials from the agency stated Friday the census day will be May 11, 2021, as planned.

However, endeavours are being made to secure the wellbeing and security of both registration staff and Canadians, and any in-person census-taking will regard any pertinent wellbeing counsel, for example, physical distancing and protective gear.

In a technical briefing given on condition they not be named, the officials said in 2016, just about 90 percent of Canadians reacted to the enumeration without an in-person contact, including on the web or via mail.

Some of the data collected may also show if there are longer-term changes to Canada as a result of the pandemic such as more telecommuting and other impacts on the labour force.

Statistics Canada Friday published the full questionnaires that will be used for the census, including for the first time questions to count transgender Canadians, veterans and active military personnel and members of Metis groups.

The changes to the 2021 questionnaire come out of consultations with various communities who felt they didn’t see themselves reflected in the questions in 2016.

The questions now ask a respondent’s sex at birth and current gender, which the questionnaire notes may be different from what is on current legal documents.

There is a new question looking for the numbers of Inuit enrolled in Inuit land claims agreements, and another asking about Metis government representation.

The census will also ask about all the ways people commute to work, rather than just the most common way, as the agency tries to suss out how many people ever use forms of active or public transportation versus private vehicles.

Statistics Canada is also no longer providing a list of suggestions of ethnicity, as it has in years past. Canada’s Jewish community was flummoxed after the 2016 census cut its population in half, from 309,000 in 2011 to about 143,000 in 2016.

The change that happened after “Jewish” was dropped as one of the 20 suggested answers on the questionnaire because it had not been one of the top 20 answers in 2011. The 2021 question asking about the ethnic or cultural origins of respondents’ ancestors does not provide any suggested responses.

Additionally, Statistics Canada is trying to get information about why people work part-time or seasonally for the first time.
