Table 129 (p. 209) shows the percentage distribution of the population of Canada 15
years of age and over, and of persons gainfully occupied by sex and broad nativity groups—
Canadian born, British born and foreign born. Unfortunately the age distribution is not
available for the United States, Asiatic and European born separately. Table 130 gives the
number and proportions of each nativity group employed, by sex. The percentages are in
terms of population 15 years of age and over. This age was chosen in spite of the fact
that the figures for the employed include all 10 years of age and over. Since the number
from 10 to 14 years of age employed constitutes less than one p.c. of the total employed,
the error involved is very small. Moreover, this procedure has a decided advantage. “It is
recalled that the proportions of children among the Canadian born differs radically from
that among the British born and foreign born, and the inclusion of the 10-14 year group
in the denominator would produce an exaggerated picture of the differences. An examinaion
of these two tables reveals some interesting facts regarding the employment of the
