Title
Official-Language Minority Populations Under Various Enumeration Methods
Abstract
The authors note that when studying official-language minority populations, researchers and organizations working in minority communities often wonder which linguistic variables they should use from Statistics Canada’s Census of Population. They may start out with the simple intention of enumerating these populations, but they end up asking themselves whom they should include in official-language populations. The authors point out that the “definition” of an Anglophone or Francophone minority member is the subject of much debate. To shed light on this debate, the authors present some statistical methods for enumerating English-speaking Quebecers and Francophones living outside Quebec, using the linguistic variables of the Census of Canada.
