Description: This report applies various assumptions regarding future participation rates in postsecondary education to projected demographic trends to create three scenarios that estimate the potential future population of students in postsecondary institutions in Canada and the provinces. Projections are provided separately for enrolments at the college and the university levels for three age cohorts: 17 to 19 year-olds, 20 to 24 year-olds and 25 to 29 year-olds. Demographic trends and participation rates in college and in university both vary widely across provinces. To reflect these differences, the analysis is presented at both a national level and for each of the ten provinces. At the national level, the sample size is large enough to allow analysis of trends in both full- and part-time enrolment at the national level; at the provincial level, we constrain our enquiry to full-time only. Demographic data on historical and projected population trends for each of the three age cohorts was provided by Demography Division, Statistics Canada, for the 1990 to 2031 period. Historical college and university participation rates were calculated as the ratio of enrolment to population for the three age cohorts as reported by the Labour Force Survey (LFS). We capture enrolments for the academic year through averaging enrolments over the eight-month period between September and April, for the academic years from 1990/1991 to 2005/2006. Because of the coverage of the LFS, the population considered is that of the ten provinces. Projections of possible future enrolment levels are provided based on three sets of assumptions or 'what if' scenarios: Scenario 1: Maintaining the status quo What if college and university participation rates remain at the average level over the 2003/2004 to 2005/2006 period? Scenario 2: Growth in line with historical trends What if national postsecondary participation rates were to maintain historical trends observed over the 1990/1991 to 2005/2006 period until 2016/2017, remaining constant thereafter? Scenario 3: Closing the gender gap What if, in future, male participation rates in postsecondary education matched the higher rates observed for females over the 2002/2003 to 2005/2006 period?

Description: Using data from the Labour Force Survey and the Survey of Financial Security, this study examines trends in the number of retirements over time, as well as changes in post-retirement employment among older Canadians. Reasons for retirement, as well as selected sociodemographic characteristics associated with working after retirement, are also explored.

Description: Mostly using data from the Labour Force Survey supplement for the third quarter of 2024, the article examines the characteristics and labour market experiences of recent immigrants and non-permanent residents (NPRs) aged 25 to 54 who were of working age when they arrived in Canada.

Description: Using data from the September 2024 and September 2025 supplement to the Labour Force Survey (LFS), this article examines the risk of job mismatch among recent immigrants across a wide range of indicators, including having more skills than needed, working in a job unrelated to the field of study, and self-perceived overqualification.

Description: Labour Statistics at a Glance features short analytical articles on specific topics of interest related to Canada's labour market. The studies examine recent or historical trends using data produced by the Centre for Labour Market Information, i.e., the Labour Force Survey, the Survey of Employment Payrolls and Hours, the Job Vacancy and Wage Survey, the Employment Insurance Coverage Survey and the Employment Insurance Statistics Program.

Description: The NEET measure (not in employment, education or training) is a popular approach to identifying youth who, at a point in time, may be at risk for economic and social difficulties. This article develops and applies a complementary indicator that focuses on a longer time period and also acknowledges unpaid caregiving as a productive activity. Youth are considered not in employment, education or training, excluding short transitions (NEETEST), if they were NEET (excluding unpaid caregiving) for a full year.

Description: The focus of this portrait is the analysis of the sociodemographic and ethnocultural diversity and socioeconomic outcomes of the Chinese populations in Canada. The portrait uses data from the Census of Population (1996 to 2021), the 2011 National Household Survey, the 2020 General Social Survey – Social Identity, the 2022 Canadian Survey on Disability and the 2024 Labour Force Survey. An intersectional approach is used to explore the relationships between multiple diversity measures.

Description: In March 2020, child care provision in Canada was greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and most provinces mandated the closure of child care centres, schools and family child care homes. This study examines the percentage of child care workers who claimed the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) and their characteristics. 

Description: Indigenous-owned businesses are a growing and important component of Canada’s economic landscape. These businesses not only contribute to entrepreneurship and community development but also serve as important sources of employment for Indigenous people. This study represents a novel contribution to the evidence base. Statistics Canada first helped close a critical data gap by developing a framework to identify Indigenous business owners and Indigenous-owned businesses. Building on that foundation, the present analysis extends the work to fill another gap, providing data on Indigenous employment within Indigenous-owned businesses.

Description:

This paper is an overview of the activities undertaken by Statistics Canada over the past several decades in the field of measuring and valuing unpaid work in all of its many forms. It was first prepared in the early 1990s when the Agency's accomplishments in the field of unpaid work were not as widely known as Statistics Canada would have liked. With each significant new achievement of the Agency, this note has been updated and further updates will be produced in step with the Agency's continuing outputs in this important area.
