- Articles and reports: 81-595-M2003011Geography: CanadaDescription:
This report presents a rethinking of the fundamental concepts used to guide statistical work on postsecondary education.
Release date: 2003-12-23 - 2. Building the perfect system: An analysis of the computer systems design and related services industry. ArchivedArticles and reports: 63-016-X20030036710Geography: CanadaDescription:
The need for Information Technology (IT) support has never been greater than it is today. Businesses, institutions, government and individuals all rely heavily on IT networks to convey information, process data, and provide or access services.
This paper describes how a leading IT industry, including computer systems design and related services, has responded to the mounting demand for IT services in Canada. Structural differences between small and large system design firms are explored and data describing industry growth rates, export markets, and employment characteristics are examined.
Release date: 2003-12-22 - Articles and reports: 91-209-X20020009227Geography: CanadaDescription: The first assesses how the fertility of immigrant women evolved between 1976-1981 and 1996-2001. It examines whether the fertility behaviour of immigrant women is tending to converge with that of Canadian-born women, and if so, how rapidly this is occurring for different immigrant groups. It also estimates the fertility of immigrants' children, the second-generation of Canadians.Release date: 2003-12-22
- 4. Healthy aging: The determinants of aging without loss of independence among older Canadians ArchivedArticles and reports: 91-209-X20020009228Geography: CanadaDescription: This study identifies determinants that promote dependence-free aging, an important topic as the large cohorts of baby-boomers grow older.Release date: 2003-12-22
- Articles and reports: 63F0002X2003046Description:
Services constitute the single most important industry in Canada's economy, with 68% of total gross domestic product, 75% of employment and 53% of consumer spending. However, this industry is not widely perceived as being Canada's spearhead of research and development (R&D), a role more traditionally assigned to the manufacturing sector. Still, services are becoming an increasingly important force in R&D, and this is why we should reconsider the true role played by R&D in the service sector. This article, in fact, sets out to quantify R&D activities within the service sector.
Here are some highlights of this exploratory study:
- In 2002, the commercial service sector was responsible for 28.5% of all R&D expenditures for the economy as a whole.
- In 2000, 36.6% of all personnel assigned full time to R&D worked in the commercial service sector.
- Quantification of the amounts spent on R&D from within the service sector does not necessarily correspond to traditional industrial classifications. For example, R&D is primarily performed in such sectors as biotechnology, software, telecommunications, the environment and logistics, which are not included in the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) classification scheme.
- Several service sector activities are very labour intensive and require highly skilled R&D workers. For example, of all employees performing R&D in the field of biotechnology, 23% hold doctorates or master's degrees.
Release date: 2003-12-22 - 6. Profile of Campgrounds and Outfitters ArchivedArticles and reports: 63F0002X2003047Description:
Even though all of the campgrounds and outfitters combined were self-categorized as midscale accommodations, 87% of the campgrounds catered to an economy/midscale market while around 84% of the outfitters were midscale/upscale. Only outfitters derived more revenue from packaged vacations than from guest units. Americans made up the greatest number of those visiting Canada's hunting and fishing camps while campgrounds generated most of their business from Canadian travellers. Canada's pristine wilderness draws foreign travellers who want to experience world-class hunting and fishing expeditions.

These data show the types of outlets where consumers prefer to buy certain commodities and the shifts in the types of commodities retailers decide to sell. The data are from the Retail Commodity Program, an analytical tool that provides information on the retail industry.

Release date: 2003-12-17 - 9. Christmas: Consumers' Season ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-621-M2003007Geography: CanadaDescription:
Consumers buy more in December than in any other month of the year. Consumers rush to get gifts for the Christmas season while retailers rely on this period to register a high proportion of their yearly sales. The most popular stores at Christmas time are jewellery, music, toy, book, clothing, and general merchandise stores. This article examines monthly and quarterly retail sales to show the importance of Christmas for consumers and retailers.
Release date: 2003-12-11 - 10. More than Just Farming: Employment in Agriculture and Agri-food in Rural and Urban Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X2002008Geography: CanadaDescription:
While the number of census-farms and farm operators is shrinking, the number of jobs in the agriculture and agri-food industry is growing. During the 15-year period from 1981 to 1996, the industry employed 15% of Canada's workforce.
Employment in the agri-food sector has grown faster than the overall Canadian economy and this has offset the decline in employment on farms. In 1981, more people worked on farms than worked in restaurants, bars and taverns. By 1996, this trend had reversed and employment in the food and beverage services sector far outstripped the number of workers on farms.
Food processing is often promoted as part of agricultural policy (to provide a local market for Canadian farmers) and as part of rural development policy (to create jobs in rural areas). However, in 1996, fewer people were working in Canada's food processing sector than in 1981. More food was processed (there was growth in the gross domestic product (GDP) of this sector), but fewer workers were involved. Rural regions adjacent to urban areas gained a greater share of food processing employment, making these regions relatively competitive in keeping food processing workforces.
Employment in the agricultural and agri-food sectors is growing, but the nature of the work and where it is being done is changing.
