1. Pension Coverage, Retirement Status, and Earnings Replacement Rates Among a Cohort of Canadian Seniors Archived
Articles and reports: 11F0019M2009321
Geography: Canada
Description:
Data from the Longitudinal Administrative Data (LAD) base are used to compare the retirement status and earnings replacement rates achieved by individuals who were, and individuals who were not, Registered Pension Plan members in 1991 and/or 1992, when they were in their mid-fifties. Among men in this cohort, the likelihood of being retired at age 70 to 72 was about 4 to 14 percentage points higher among pension plan members than non-members. Data used for the study do not provide information on why RPP non-members tend to retire later than do members. Among retired individuals, earnings replacement rates did not differ significantly between RPP members and non-members.

2. Immigrant low-income rates: The role of market income and government transfers Archived
Articles and reports: 75-001-X200911211055
Geography: Canada
Description:
The decline in earnings among immigrants over the past quarter century is well-documented, but its impact on various segments of the immigrant population is less well-known. This study examines long-term trends in the incidence of low income among working-age immigrants, immigrant seniors and the children of immigrants. The study looks at two main factors that contribute to the incidence of low income: market income and government transfers.

3. Report from the Third Consensus Conference on Health Indicators Archived
Articles and reports: 82-230-X2009001
Geography: Canada
Description:
Health indicators are measures of health and of the factors which influence health. As such they can be used to inform health policy, manage the health care system, enhance our understanding of the broader determinants of health, as well as to identify gaps in the health status and outcomes for specific populations. While there are countless indicators that could be calculated, the challenge is to identify which are the most important to measure and track; what types of indicators best reflect the needs of those who use them; which of the current indicators are no longer relevant and may therefore be dropped or replaced by more suitable measures; and finally, how can the cross-cutting dimension of equity be addressed in the evaluation of the indicator set. These and other questions were discussed at the Third Health Indicators Consensus Conference, held in March 2009. The results of the conference are summarized in this report.

4. Health and employment Archived
Articles and reports: 75-001-X200910913236
Geography: Canada
Description:
This article examines the relationship between health and work. Poor mental and physical health were found to decrease the probability of being employed, particularly among men. For women, mental health problems were also associated with working fewer hours.

5. Changes in parental work time and earnings Archived
Articles and reports: 75-001-X200911013237
Geography: Canada
Description:
Between 1980 and 2005, parental work time increased by substantial margins, especially for families located at the bottom and in the middle of the earnings distribution. However, this increase occurred against a backdrop of a stronger increase in earnings for families at the top of the earnings distribution. This study finds that high earnings families earned more in 2005 than in 1980 for a given amount of parental work time, likely because of higher wages.

6. Work life balance of older workers Archived
Articles and reports: 75-001-X200911013238
Geography: Canada
Description:
Although it has received some attention in the Canadian literature, the issue of work life balance of older workers remains largely understudied. This article addresses that gap using data from the 2005 General Social Survey. Overall, 14% of Canadian workers age 55 and over reported being dissatisfied with their work life balance in 2005. The sources of conflict most frequently cited were too much time on the job and too little time for the family. Work life balance dissatisfaction was associated with having a disability, providing elder care, working long hours, occupying a managerial position and being a woman. At the same time, having an employed partner, being self-employed and enjoying one's job reduced the probability of work life conflict. When the self-selection of older individuals out of employment was taken into account, the risk of work life conflict did not vary with age.

7. Job stability and unemployment duration in manufacturing Archived
Articles and reports: 75-001-X200911113239
Geography: Canada
Description:
In 2008, job stability in manufacturing was at its second-lowest level in 27 years, and stability rates between manufacturing and non-manufacturing have never differed so much. Manufacturing workers experienced significant drops in their stability rates regardless of tenure in the firm. The difference in unemployment duration between ex-workers in manufacturing and non-manufacturing has also never been so high.

8. Smokers' use of acute care hospitals: A prospective study Archived
Articles and reports: 82-003-X200900411033
Geography: Canada

9. Mortality of Métis Canadian and Registered Indian adults: An 11-year follow-up study Archived
Articles and reports: 82-003-X200900411034
Geography: Canada
Description:
This study describes and contrasts mortality patterns among Métis and Registered Indian adults with those of the population of Canada as a whole.

10. A comparison of individual and area-based socio-economic data for monitoring social inequalities in health Archived
Articles and reports: 82-003-X200900411035
Geography: Canada
Description:
Area-based indicators are commonly used to measure and track health outcomes by socio-economic group. This is largely because of the absence of information about individuals in health health administrative databases. This study compares area-based and individual indicators.
