Countries and Areas of Interest for Social Statistics - SCCAI 2009
Status: This standard was replaced by the 'Countries and Areas of Interest for Social Statistics - SCCAI 2010' as of January 17, 2011.
This classification variant is based on the Standard Classification of Countries and Areas of Interest (SCCAI) 2009.
The classification variant of SCCAI is a set of customized groupings that use countries and areas of interest of SCCAI as building blocks. In Statistics Canada, variants are created and adopted in cases where the version of the classification does not fully meet specific user needs for disseminating data. A classification variant is based on a classification version such as SCCAI 2009. In a variant, the categories of the classification version are split, aggregated or regrouped to provide additions or alternatives (e.g. context-specific additions) to the standard list of the base version.
The classification variant for social statistics includes customized groupings of the SCCAI countries for the publication of social statistics data.
