Low Income in Canada: 2000-2006 Using the Market Basket Measure - October 2008
8. Introduction to Tables 7-10
Incidence of Low-Income Statistics 22
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. 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 9-10j 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 0.417 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, adoption, 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.

- 22Where 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.
