- 1. Self-contained Labour Areas: A Proposed Delineation and Classification by Degree of Rurality ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X2008008Geography: CanadaDescription:
One of the most common terms in economic and social reporting is that of "labour market". This concept is normally used with two main connotations, which to some extent overlap. The first emphasizes a set of employment norms, practices and trends that are in some cases specific to certain occupations or industries. The second connotation emphasizes the spatial dimension of the market, as the geographic area in which a multitude of labour activities occur. In this bulletin, our focus is on this second aspect: we identify a set of self-contained labour areas (SLAs), which in broad terms can be described as geographic spaces in which the majority of the residents in the labour force also have their place of work.
Release date: 2011-12-19 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2008001Geography: CanadaDescription:
This bulletin is a summary of a larger working paper which contains more details on the theoretical framework, data and variable selection, estimation procedure, probability estimates and some mapping and simulation analysis (Alasia et Al. 2007).
Release date: 2009-03-09 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2007007Geography: CanadaDescription:
This bulletin updates and summarizes information on the structure and trends for the rural population of Canada, using three major definitions of rural Canada: the "census rural" definition, the "rural and small town" definition and the OECD "predominantly rural region" definition. Each definition illustrates a specific aspect of rural Canada. This analysis is entirely based on data from the Census of Population from 1981 to 2006 (Statistics Canada, 2007).
Release date: 2008-11-04 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2007006Geography: CanadaDescription:
This bulletin presents baseline data on the pattern and size of rural commuting flows in 2001 and provides a better understanding of how rural communities are affected by both urban-bound commuters and rural-bound commuters. It also shows that Canada's Census Metropolitan Areas and Census Agglomerations (larger urban centres), which are delineated on the basis of commuting flows, essentially constitute self-contained labour markets.
Release date: 2008-09-17 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2007004Geography: CanadaDescription:
The objective of this paper is to document the characteristics of the rural and urban working poor specifically, those individuals living in a low-income economic family unit in 2003, who were not full-time students and who worked for pay for at least one hour in 2003. We then present some of the factors associated with their situation.
Release date: 2008-01-14 - 6. Skills, Innovation and Growth: Key Issues for Rural and Territorial Development - A Survey of the Literature ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-601-M2005076Description:
This report reviews the literature related to the spatial variation of skills and human capital and its implication for local innovation capacity and economic development. The report develops around three major themes 1) skills and human capital; 2) innovation and technological change; and 3) growth.
Release date: 2005-11-15 - Articles and reports: 11-010-X20050088449Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
The purpose of this paper is to analyse geographic income disparities in Canada from the perspective of provinces and especially urban and rural areas. In particular, it looks at how per capita incomes vary across the urban-rural continuum - that is, how per capita incomes in large cities like Toronto and Montreal compare with medium sized cities like Halifax and Victoria, small cities like Brandon and Drummondville and with rural areas.
Release date: 2005-08-11 - 8. Provincial Income Disparities Through an Urban-rural Lens: Evidence from the 2001 Census ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-624-M2005012Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
This paper describes per capita employment income disparities across provinces and across the urban-rural continuum, from larger to small cities and between cities and rural areas. Its first objective is to compare the degree of income disparities across provinces to income disparities across the urban-rural continuum. Its second objective is to determine the extent to which provincial disparities can be tied to the urban-rural composition of provinces. The paper also seeks to determine whether urban-rural disparities in per capita employment income stem from poorer labour market conditions in smaller cities and rural areas compared to large cities.
Release date: 2005-07-21 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2000001Geography: CanadaDescription:
Historically, female employment rates in rural areas have been significantly below the rates for women in urban areas (Bollman, 1991; Fuguitt, Brown and Beale, 1989). The objective of this paper is to explore some of the factors associated with these rural-urban differences in female employment rates.
Release date: 2000-12-13 - 10. Employment Patterns in the Non-metro Workforce ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X1998002Geography: CanadaDescription:
Job creation is one major focus of rural development initiatives. The purpose of this bulletin is to provide an overview of employment and unemployment patterns in the non-metro workforce. In this bulletin, we combined the rural and small town population (as defined in ANALYSIS BULLETIN No. 1) with the Census Agglomeration (CA) population to constitute the non-metro population (see "Definitions" box). Our results for the overall non-metro workforce also apply to the rural and small town component of the non-metro workforce (refer to Employment Patterns in the Non-metro Workforce {Ottawa: Statistics Canada, Agriculture and Rural Working Paper No. 35, Cat. No. 21-601-MPE98035}).
