Dominion Bureau of Statistics
Author: David Albert Worton
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 9780773516601
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
The Bureau, precursor to Statistics Canada, was founded in 1918 as a centralized national agency to replace piecemeal arrangements which had developed over time and no longer satisfied statistical needs. The author (who is a retired assistant chief statistician of Canada) traces its evolution and looks at the individuals who influenced it. He discusses how Canada's statistical system has coped with the country's evolution from a staple economy to a mature industrial power; the changing nature of the technology for gathering, compiling, analyzing, and disseminating information; and some notable Canadian contributions to the science and production of statistics.
