Low Income in Canada: 2000-2002 Using the Market Basket Measure - June 2006
VI. Summing Up
- With this report, trend data are now available for three years using the MBM. This enables both time series analysis and analysis of low income persistence using the MBM.
- Two groups among the working age population - those commonly referred to as the "working poor" and five socio-demographic groups at disproportionate risk of persistent low income are featured in this report.
- The risk of experiencing annual and persistent low income for "working" families (those where the Major Income Recipient (MIR) works 910 hours or more for pay annually) is much lower than for families with weaker attachment to paid work. However, "working poor" families still accounted for almost 30% of all working-age low income families in 2002 and for just over 40% of low income children living in such families in that year.
- Regardless of the low income measure used, five socio-demographic groups have a disproportionate risk of persistent low income. Two out of the five high-risk groups - unattached individuals aged 45-64 and persons with work-limiting disabilities - significantly improved their incidence of low income between 2000 and 2002. Changes in the incidence of low income for the other three groups - lone parents with at least one child under 18, recent immigrants and Aboriginal Canadians living off-reserve during this period were not statistically significant.
- Between 2000 and 2002, the Market Basket Measure identified a somewhat larger low income population than is calculated using Statistics Canada's post-income tax Low Income Cut-offs (LICOs-IAT).
- This difference is more than accounted for by the more stringent definition of economic family disposable income which is compared to the MBM low income thresholds. Several more items are deducted from gross income using the MBM than the LICOs-IAT.
- These additional deductions from gross income are particularly important in increasing the incidence of low income for children (as deductions include out-of-pocket child care costs) and for working-age families with a strong attachment to paid work (as deductions include payroll taxes and other mandatory payroll deductions).
- Because of its more geographically-sensitive shelter and transportation components, the MBM also yields a significantly different geographical distribution of the low income population than does the LICOs-IAT. A much higher share of the low income population is found in rural areas and a much lower share is found in large urban centres.
- Trends in the incidence of low income for all persons and for the main age groups between 2000 and 2002 were similar regardless of whether the MBM or the LICOs-IAT was used as the measure of low income.
Introduction to Tables 7-10
Incidence of Low Income Statistics22
The incidence of low income for individuals is the percentage of individuals living in families whose disposable income falls below the relevant low income threshold. That is, the income of the whole family (using the appropriate income definition) is compared to the relevant threshold for the family. If it is below the threshold, the family and each of its members are considered to be in low income.
Depth of Low Income Statistics
The depth of low income in Tables 7-10 is the decimal fraction by which the income (using the appropriate low-income definition) of persons in low income families falls short of the relevant low income threshold. For example, a family whose MBM threshold was $25,000 with a disposable income of $20,000 would have a depth of low income of $5,000/$25,000 or 0.20 or 20%.
The depth of low income is expressed as a decimal fraction of the threshold rather than as a dollar amount to ensure comparability among families of different sizes and configurations.23 For example, an unattached person with an MBM threshold of $12,000 and a disposable income of $7,000 would have more difficulty purchasing the goods and services in the Market Basket than a two-adult, two-child family with an MBM threshold of $25,000 and a disposable income of $20,000. In both cases the income gap is $5,000. But in the first case, the depth of low income is .417 or 41.7% while in the second it is 0.20 or 20%.
Definition of Terms
Economic family: An economic family is defined as a group of two or more persons who live in the same dwelling and are related to each other by blood, marriage, a common-law union or adoption.
Unattached individual: An unattached individual is a person living either alone or with others to whom he or she is unrelated, such as roommates or a lodger.
In this report, the term family refers to both economic families and to unattached individuals.
Elderly family: a family where the main income recipient is aged 65 or over.
Non-elderly family: a family where the main income recipient is under age 65.
Working-age family: a family where the main income recipient is aged 18-64.
Married couples/Spouses: married couples, including legally married, common-law and same-sex relationships, where one of the spouses is the major income earner.
Children: a child or children (by birth, adopted, step or foster) of the main income recipient under age 18.
Lone-parent family: A family including at least one child as defined above where only one parent is present. The rare lone-parent families where the parent is 65 years of age or older are included under elderly families.
Relative: a person related to the main income recipient by blood, marriage, adoption or a common-law relationship.
Other relative: a person in the economic family who is neither the main income recipient nor his/her spouse or a child under age 18.

| Note: F: Too few observations to allow reliable estimates |
22 Where the sample size in the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) was too small to make a reliable estimate for a specific group either nationally or within a province the letter F appears in the tables.
23 There are a small number of cases in the SLID where an economic family reports a negative post-income tax income mainly because of business losses by unincorporated self-employed individuals. In such cases, the depth of low income is calculated after adjusting the family's income to zero, producing a depth of low income of 100% for such families.
