- 1. Education and earnings ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610613165Geography: CanadaDescription:
Between 1980 and 2000, and particularly the latter half of the 1990s, the earnings gap widened between young workers who were less-educated and those who were well-educated. Some research attributes the gap to technological change, which requires a workforce that is more skilled and better educated. The subsequent demand resulted in higher wages for such workers and hence increased returns to education. However, the past five years have seen strong job growth in industries that employ many young people with less education. How has the earnings gap been affected?
Release date: 2006-09-19 - Articles and reports: 81-595-M2006045Geography: CanadaDescription:
Based on data from cycle 3 of the Youth in Transition Survey, this report provides an overview of the school and labour market pathways undertaken by Canadian youth between December 1999 and December 2003. In particular, the report looks at the proportion of youth who completed high school and who participated in postsecondary education and labour market activities over that period. The report provides a starting point to understanding the nature of school-work transitions.
Release date: 2006-07-05 - Articles and reports: 88-003-X20060029242Geography: CanadaDescription:
There is a growing supply of scientists and engineers with doctorates in the natural and applied sciences occupation but, on the other hand, there is a potential for future shortages of university professors concludes a forthcoming Statistics Canada study entitled Where are the Scientists & Engineers? One reason for the lower replacement numbers for university professors is that PhDs may be turning away from educational services towards higher paying industries for employment.
Release date: 2006-06-27 - 4. Does it pay to go back to school? ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610313159Geography: CanadaDescription:
As rapid technological change drives the growth of a knowledge-based economy and creates the need for new job-related skills, an aging population means that fewer new workers are available to meet these needs. As a result, adults are re-entering the educational system in increasing numbers, even though they are likely to face more challenges than regular students, in terms of balancing work, education, and family responsibilities. Going back to school is an investment that is expected to yield returns, but who actually benefits from adult schooling and by how much?
Release date: 2006-06-20 - Articles and reports: 11-621-M2006039Geography: CanadaDescription:
Using data from the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) this study examines the labour market experience of Canadians who hold a university diploma and who worked at least one month in a job requiring no more than a high school diploma between 1993 and 2001.
Release date: 2006-04-06 - Articles and reports: 11-621-M2006036Geography: CanadaDescription:
Using data from the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) this study examines the labour market outcomes of private college graduates. A comparison between 1993 and 2003 shows private colleges lost market share, mainly because women were less interested in secretarial sciences. In 2003, graduates from private business schools earned about the same as high school graduates annually. However, private college graduates showed a 7% higher probability of being employed compared to high school graduates.
