| Published by Statistics Canada, 2011. This is an annual publication. The 2011 Year Book was released August 2011. Description: |
| Presented in almanac style, the Canada Year
Book contains tables, charts and succinct analytical articles on every
major area of Statistics Canada's expertise. The 2011 edition has been expanded
to just over 500 pages to include international comparisons and online search
terms that help readers find updated and related data on Statistic Canada's
website. The Canada Year Book is the premier reference on the social and economic life of Canada and its citizens.
Each chapter covers issues and trends that influenced Canada during the year, such as the aging of the population, energy consumption and conservation, and Canada's economic recovery following the 2008-2009 downturn. For the first time, an "International perspective" page in almost every chapter provides charts showing a quick comparison between Canada and other Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) nations. For example, in the chapter on population and demography, the International perspective page shows Canada's total fertility rate was 1.66 births per woman aged 15 to 49 in 2007. This compares with 2.12 in the United States and 1.68 across the OECD. In the chapter on the economy, it shows that Canada's gross domestic product per capita in 2008 was US$38,975, seventh among OECD countries. Canada's average was above the OECD average of US$33,732. Feature articles cover topics such as demographic changes in the population, as well as its ethnic makeup; an analysis of various sectors in the economy including international trade in goods and services, retail and wholesale trade, agriculture, transportation, energy, services, construction and manufacturing; an analysis of environmental issues; crime, health, the labour force, travel patterns and a look at how Canadians use technology to address life changes. First published in 1867, the Canada Year Book has become the premier reference resource on the social and economic life of Canadians. The Canada Year Book presents information about Canada in a way that all Canadians find accessible, useful and interesting. It's a treasure trove of information on Canadian society and today's issues and trends, such as Canada's aging population, online shopping, gas prices and new energy technologies. Canada Year Book's extensive collection of statistical tables and charts, paint an objective and timely portrait of Canada's changing society. Features:
