Income Statistics Division, Data Liberation Initiative [producer and distributor].","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe purpose of the survey is to collect information from a sample of Canadian families on their assets, debts, employment, income and education. This helps in understanding how family finances change because of economic pressures. The SFS provides a comprehensive picture of the net worth of Canadians. Information is collected on the value of all major financial and non-financial assets and on the money owing on mortgages, vehicles, credit cards, student loans and other debts. A family's net worth can be thought of as the amount of money they would be left with if they sold all of their assets and paid off all of their debts. The survey data are used by government departments to help formulate policy, the private sector and by individuals and families to compare their wealth with those of similar types of families.\u003c/p\u003e","id":"pumf_sfs_2012","isPrivate":false,"lastUpdate":"2020-09-28T14:50:31.598Z","name":"PUMF: Survey of Financial Security, 2012","provenance":"This data product and metadata is sourced from CSV, DDI, and documentation files made available by \u003ca href='https://odesi.ca/' target='_blank'\u003eODESI\u003c/a\u003e and the \u003ca href='https://www.statcan.gc.ca/eng/dli/dli' target='_blank'\u003eData Liberation Initative\u003c/a\u003e.","uri":"1d1c2053-782e-49e2-bf11-d9eea764823b"}
