Winter 2009
The Winter 2009 print edition of Perspectives on Labour and Income, released today, includes four articles previously released in the online edition.
"Health and employment" looks at the relationship between self-reported mental and physical health problems and employment and hours worked.
"Changes in parental work time and earnings" examines the increase in parental work time between 1980 and 2005. Working time increased the most for families located at the bottom and in the middle of the earnings distribution, while families at the top of the distribution had greater increases in earnings.
"Work-life balance of older workers" considers factors related to the probability of work-life conflict, such as providing elder care or working long hours.
"Job stability and unemployment duration in manufacturing" studies long-term trends in job stability and unemployment duration of manufacturing and non-manufacturing jobs. The differences between the two sectors peaked in 2008.
This edition also features a cumulative index dating back to 1989, as well as the "What's New?" section, which highlights recent reports and studies of interest from Statistics Canada and other organizations.
The Winter 2009 print edition of Perspectives on Labour and Income, Vol. 21, no. 4 (75-001-X, $20/$63), is now available. See How to order products.
