Description

The additions of gender identity and gender expression in the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code, as well as some sources of administrative data changing from sex to gender, necessitated distinguishing the concepts of gender and sex within the National Statistical System. Statistics Canada has revised the variables 'gender of person' and 'sex at birth of person' for the 2021 Census of Population.
