Description:
Demographic data on all members of the 36th through 41st Parliaments of Canada (electoral years 1997-2011). Data collected from sources including Parliament of Canada web site (http://www.parl.gc.ca/), Census of Canada (for riding information) together with considerable original coding by study author. Members of Parliament are coded for age, ethnic origin, pre-political occupation(s), education, and marital status (at time elected). In addition they are coded for socio-economic status and occupational prestige following various recognized schemas (following R. Bibby, Guppy et al, Porter, etc.) Further information on coding will be available in the dissertation when published.
