Abstract
This compendium of vital statistics includes summary data on
births, deaths, marriages and divorces. The introduction covers
the data sources, data quality, and methods pertaining to
each event, and includes a glossary defining the terms used. The
first
chapter is a brief overview of vital statistics for 1996.
Subsequent chapters treat marriage, divorce, birth, fetal and
infant
mortality, total mortality, causes of death, vital statistics
by census division, and international comparisons. Most charts and
tables show Canada data for 1986 though 1996, while the
charts and tables for causes of death show Canada data for 1979
through1996. Data for the provinces and territories are
usually shown for 1995 and 1996. Appendices include population
denominator data, age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR)
calculation methods, and leading causes of death methodology.
