TABLES 30 and 31 describe those families designated as "low
income" by Statistics Canada (see Definition section).
Note from these TABLES:
- The more education the head of the household has, the less
likely the household is to be in the low income group.
- Low income households are also likely to be headed by women,
and to be from Newfoundland or New Brunswick. Note also that the largest
increases from 1980 to 1984 in the presence of low income households occurs in
the West.
