The objectives of this survey were:

- to estimate the hours of work that could be made available by a voluntary reduction in work-time by employed labour force participants, excluding the self-employed;

- to determine whether those who voluntarily reduce their work-time would use their extra time in activities that would have an indirect impact on the availability of employment;

- to determine which is the primary factor of interest in reducing work-time: dissatisfaction with own work, the weight of responsibilities or the attractiveness of other activities;

- to determine preferences for various reduced work-time patterns (ie. shorter work day, shorter work week, or work fewer years);

- to determine what regional, occupational, income or other demographic characteristics are associated with preferences for increased work-time.

Description:

The Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation (CIMD) is an area-based index which uses Census of Population microdata to measure four key dimensions of deprivation at the dissemination area (DA)-level: residential instability, economic dependency, situational vulnerability and ethno-cultural composition. The CIMD allows for an understanding of inequalities in various measures of health and social well-being. While it is a geographically-based index of deprivation and marginalization, it can also be used as a proxy for an individual. The CIMD has the potential to be widely used by researchers on a variety of topics related to socio-economic research. Other uses for the index may include: policy planning and evaluation, or resource allocation.
