Final Answer : True, Explanation :  Statistics Canada uses both the census family and the economic family definitions to study different aspects of family structures and dynamics. The census family definition includes a married or common-law couple, with or without children, or a lone parent with at least one child living in the same dwelling. The economic family definition includes a group of two or more persons who live in the same dwelling and are related to each other by blood, marriage, common-law or adoption, and who share the same economic resources, such as income and expenses.
