[...] For example, the employment rate of men in CMAs fell from 75.8% in 1981 to 69.3% in 2001, and rose for women in CMAs from 56.4% in 1981 to 58.2% in 2001. [...] The census is administered to the entire population of Canada, but 1 in 5 households receive a detailed questionnaire, which is the source of most of the information used in this paper.5 The census offers the advantage of describing the Canadian population across a number of economic dimensions and is a rich source of information on employment and unemployment, industrial structure, and mobility. [...] Generally, this is due to the process of suburbanization, where workers in the CMA move to suburbs outside of the CMA and integrate the suburb into the CMA. [...] In these cases the CMA boundaries are as defined in their respective census years.8 5. The census incorporates three types of questions: Those that refer to the day of the census, those that refer to a reference week, usually the week before the census, and those that refer to the year preceding the census.
