- 1. Canada's rural population since 1851 ArchivedStats in brief: 98-310-X201100311622Geography: CanadaDescription:
These short analytical articles provide complementary analysis to the 2011 Census analytical document. These articles allow for a more in-depth look at relevant topics related to the Canadian population. The three articles linked to the population and dwelling counts release are entitled 'Population growth in Canada: From 1851 to 2061,' 'Canada's rural population since 1851' and 'The census: A tool for planning at the local level.'
Release date: 2012-02-08 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2008004Geography: CanadaDescription:
The analysis presented in this bulletin suggests that there are two main forces that shape community population trajectories: sector restructuring and agglomeration. The results presented in this bulletin are based on data from the 1981 and 2006 Census of Population.
Release date: 2010-03-08 - 3. Immigrants in Rural Canada: 2006 ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X2008002Geography: CanadaDescription:
Using 2006 Census of Population data, this bulletin profiles rural immigrants by five themes: immigrants as a percent of the total population, immigrant period of arrival, immigrant region of birth, migration of recent immigrants and finally a ranking of rural regions in terms of the number of immigrants as a percent of the total population in each rural region.
Release date: 2009-06-29 - 4. Seniors in Rural Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X2007008Geography: CanadaDescription:
In this bulletin, we document the rural-urban differences in population age structure in terms of: the share of the total population that is senior; the rate of aging of the population in terms of two measures: the growth in the share of the population that is senior and the growth in the number of seniors; the number of communities that are aging by each of these measures; and selected characteristics of the aging communities as compared to communities that are not aging.
Release date: 2008-12-05 - 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 - 6. A Visit to Canada's Countryside: Rural Tourism ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X2005005Geography: CanadaDescription:
This bulletin examines the number and characteristics of travellers to rural Canada in 2002 in order to develop an initial understanding.
Release date: 2005-07-26 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2004007Geography: CanadaDescription:
This bulletin uses data from 2000 to update the analysis of Singh (2002) of the rural-urban income gap over the 1980 to 1995 period.
Release date: 2004-12-23 - 8. Immigrants in Rural Canada: 2001 Update ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X2004004Geography: CanadaDescription:
Immigrants make up a much smaller portion of the population in rural regions than in urban areas. Recent immigrants are even less likely to be found in rural regions. However, according to this bulletin, immigrants living in rural regions had higher levels of education in 1996, a higher rate of employment, and were more likely to work in professional services.
Release date: 2004-06-15 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2003002Geography: CanadaDescription:
This bulletin assesses the degree of spatial diversity across rural and urban Canada in terms of a number of demographic, social and economic indicators. A multivariate statistical method is used to reduce 27 commonly used and understood indicators to 6 dimensions. These dimensions are used to profile and to map the 288 census divisions (CDs) of Canada. This analysis investigates the nature of these dimensions, their spatial distribution and their relationship with the prevailing regional classifications. These results can help a variety of stakeholders and decision-makers to more fully understand the regional context in which they operate, in comparison with the rest of the country.
Release date: 2004-03-19 - 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.
