Comparability — General
The samples differ in their age universes, in their monetary units (pesos in Mexico, dollars in the United States, etc.); in their time basis (monthly or annual); in the types of income included; and in their use of rounding and top-coding. Also, amounts are expressed as they were reported at the time of the census and have not been adjusted for inflation or devaluation. All samples include some amount of non-retirement income for disabilities or other support.
Comparability — Canada [top]
The amounts are provided on a yearly basis in Canada dollars. The variable indicates pensions from government (old age security pension, guaranteed income supplement, Canada/Quebec pension plans) and private sources (retirement pensions, superannuation and annuities). The 1981 sample includes some non-retirement income from alimony, scholarships, etc.
For 2011, public pension income is reported in
Comparability — Mexico [top]
The amounts are provided on a monthly basis in pesos. The data include some non-retirement pension income for disabilities, orphanhood, widowhood, etc.
Comparability — Panama [top]
The samples report "retirement or pension" income. This includes non-retirement income for disability, orphanhood, etc. The universe statements are slightly different between the two samples. In the 2000 sample, the question is asked of persons age 10 and older, while the 2010 sample includes all persons.
Comparability — Puerto Rico [top]
The amounts are provided on an annual basis in dollars. The variable indicates how much pre-tax retirement, survivor, and disability pension income (other than Social Security) the respondent received during the previous calendar year for the samples 1990-2000 and during the past 12 months for the 2005-2020 samples.
Social Security income -- most of which is for old-age support -- is not included in INCRET. See the unharmonized variables for each sample.
Comparability — Trinidad and Tobago [top]
The data report the respondent's gross monthly income from pensions and annuities in Trinidad and Tobago dollars.
Comparability — United States [top]
The amounts are provided on an annual basis in dollars. The variable indicates how much pre-tax retirement, survivor, and disability pension income (other than Social Security) the respondent received during the past year. The data for 1970-2000 are for the previous calendar year and for 2005-2020 are for the previous 12 months.
Social Security income -- most of which is for old-age support -- is not included in INCRET. See the unharmonized variables for each sample.
Comparability — Venezuela [top]
The amounts are provided on a monthly basis in Bolivar Fuerte. The variable indicates income from pensions or retirement and includes some disability income.
