  • 2. Working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic: How rates in Canada and the United States compare
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202200800001
    Description:

    As COVID-19 began to spread throughout Canada and the United States in early 2020, many employees were asked to work from home to help control the spread of the virus. COVID restrictions were more stringent in Canada than in the U.S., at least throughout 2021, and the degree to which Canadian and U.S. employees worked from home during the pandemic may have differed across countries. The goal of this paper is to fill this information gap and analyze the trends in work from home rates between the two countries from May 2020 to December 2021.

    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202200800003

    Child care in Canada is essential for supporting paid employment for parents, particularly women who do the majority of child care work. This paper examines the characteristics and evolution of the population of small home daycares and their operators that are ubiquitous throughout Canada. It fills an information gap in the current understanding of the child care market in Canada by providing information about the entrepreneurs that run home child cares, their families and their incomes.

  • 4. The long-term wage growth of teleworkers before the COVID-19 pandemic
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202200500001
    Description:

    One commonly held view of telework is that prior to COVID-19, teleworkers might have been promoted less often than other employees or might have declined job offers for high-paying jobs that did not offer the opportunity to work from home. Such scenarios imply that prior to COVID-19, employees working from home would have experienced lower wage growth in the long term than other employees. This study assesses whether this is the case using integrated data from Statistics Canada’s Longitudinal Worker File (LWF) and the 2006 and 2016 Censuses of Population.

  • 5. Working from home: Productivity and preferences Archived
    Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202100100012
    Description:

    To what extent are teleworkers more or less productive now relative to when they were at their usual place of work? For those who are less productive, what are the main barriers to productivity? Once the pandemic is over, how many Canadians would prefer to work most of their hours at home or outside the home?

    Answers to these questions are crucial to inform discussions about the sustainability of telework in a post COVID-19 context.

    To shed light on these questions, this study uses the supplement to the Labour Force Survey of February 2021.

  • 6. Inequality in the feasibility of working from home during and after COVID-19 Archived
    Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202000100029
    Description:

    The economic lockdown to stop the spread of COVID-19 has led to steep declines in employment and hours worked for many Canadians. For workers in essential services, in jobs that can be done with proper physical distancing measures or in jobs that can be done from home, the likelihood of experiencing a work interruption during the pandemic is lower than for other workers. This article assesses how the feasibility of working from home varies across Canadian families. It also considers the implications of these differences for family earnings inequality.

  • 7. Women-owned Enterprises in Canada Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-626-X2018083

It uses a unique employer–employee matched database developed using administrative data that covers both business owners and their businesses. A private enterprise is defined as women-owned if women have a majority interest (at least 51%) in the enterprise.
