Consultative engagement objectives
The Survey of Household Spending (SHS) is a national survey that gathers information on the spending habits of Canadians and allows Statistics Canada to measure changes in these spending patterns. It looks at how much households pay for, among others, food, clothing, shelter and transportation.
To continue to provide good quality data in a timely manner and to address challenges such as the response burden and costs associated with the survey, Statistics Canadas seeks to better understand how SHS users and stakeholders use the data. The main goal of the consultation is to gather information from external SHS users about the data they use, the frequency, the purpose (their outcome) and the specific products they use (how they access SHS data).
