About this release:
The results are based on an online study conducted from August 9th to
September 6th, 2018. A total of 1,743 “modern families” were surveyed,
using a disproportionate sampling method to enable analysis within each
metropolitan area, as well as across the combined metros (Census
Metropolitan Areas, CMAs). The data has been statistically weighted to
match Canada census on the basis of age, household income and home
ownership within each CMA and to bring the total sample into proper
proportion based on relative populations.
The margin of error on a random probability sample of 1,743 respondents is ±2.3 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, and ranges from ± 3.5 to 4.9 points for 400-800 respondents.
