Past research has shown that the Canadian pension system is relatively effective in helping seniors to stay out of poverty. However, the extent to which the pension system enables individuals and families to maintain living standards achieved during their working years after retirement (income security) is less well understood. To help fill this knowledge gap, we employ 20-year longitudinal data to track individuals as they move from age 55 through their retirement years. We use various measures of an individual's family income to study four main issues: change in income levels through retirement; the role that various income sources play in this change; variation in replacement rates through time and between poorer and richer individuals; and, finally, the degree of long-term stability in individual incomes. For workers with average incomes, family income falls after age 60, declines until age 68, and then stabilizes at approximately 80% of the income level they had at age 55. In contrast, low income individuals (those in the bottom income quintile) experience little change in income as they move from age 55 through the retirement years, largely because of the income maintenance effects of the public pension system. They experience high levels of individual income instability in their late 50s and early 60s, but income instability falls dramatically after retirement. Individuals in the top quintile experience substantially larger income declines in retirement so that income inequality within a cohort declines as the cohort ages. More recent groups of retirees are experiencing higher income levels than earlier cohorts, largely because of higher private pensions. Replacement rates have changed little among cohorts, however. Whether recent gains in income levels will persist in future cohorts is unknown since pension coverage has been falling among younger workers.
Release date: 2008-03-10 - Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 75F0002M1992001Description:
Starting in 1994, the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) will follow individuals and families for at least six years, tracking their labour market experiences, changes in income and family circumstances. An initial proposal for the content of SLID, entitled "Content of the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics : Discussion Paper", was distributed in February 1992.
That paper served as a background document for consultation with and a review by interested users. The content underwent significant change during this process. Based upon the revised content, a large-scale test of SLID will be conducted in February and May 1993.
The present document outlines the income and wealth content to be tested in May 1993. This document is really a continuation of SLID Research Paper Series 92-01A, which outlines the demographic and labour content used in the January /February 1993 test.
Release date: 2008-02-29 - 53. Chronic pain in Canadian seniors ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X200800110514Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study describes the prevalence of chronic pain among seniors living in private households and in long-term health care institutions. Associations between an increase in chronic pain and unhappiness and negative self-perceived health are examined. Data are from the 1994/1995 through 2002/2003 National Population Health Survey and the 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey.
Release date: 2008-02-21 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2008304Geography: CanadaDescription:
Using data from a large Canadian longitudinal dataset, we examine whether earnings of wives and teenagers increase in response to layoffs experienced by husbands. We find virtually no evidence of an "added worker effect" for the earnings of teenagers. However, we find that among families with no children of working age, wives' earnings offset about one fifth of the earnings losses experienced by husbands five years after the layoff.
We also contrast the long-term earnings losses experienced by husbands and unattached males. Even though the former group might be less mobile geographically than the latter, we find that both groups experience roughly the same earnings losses in the long run. Furthermore, the income losses (before tax and after tax) of both groups are also very similar. However, because unattached males have much lower pre-layoff income, they experience much greater relative income shocks than (families of) laid-off husbands.
Release date: 2008-02-21 - 55. The busy lives of teens ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200710513186Geography: CanadaDescription:
Early training and skills development can open up opportunities and choices. Apart from schooling, teenagers can also begin to build up their human capital by working at a paid job, participating in volunteer activities, and even doing household chores. But an inordinate amount of time spent on unpaid and paid work activities could lead to unhealthy levels of stress and reduction in well-being, and negatively affect education outcomes. This article examines trends in the number of hours teenagers spend daily on education-related activities, paid work and housework.
Release date: 2007-06-19 - 56. Work hours instability ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X20061129544Geography: CanadaDescription:
Discussions related to work hours are typically driven by cross-sectional studies. Much less is known about the longitudinal perspective and the persistence of long hours or periods of underemployment. The annual hours of employees are examined over a five-year period to determine what proportion experience variable work years and how their well-being is affected.
Release date: 2007-03-20 - 57. Medically unexplained physical symptoms ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20060019526Geography: CanadaDescription:
In 2003, 1.3% of Canadians aged 12 or older reported that they had been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, 1.5% with fibromyalgia, and 2.4% with multiple chemical sensitivities. Close to a quarter of people with these conditons were dissatisfied with their lives, compared with 8% of those who were not affected.
Release date: 2007-02-21 - 58. Stress and depression in the employed population ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20050049495Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article describes stress levels among the employed population aged 18 to 75 and examines associations between stress and depression.
Release date: 2006-10-17 - 59. Unhappy on the job ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20050049496Geography: CanadaDescription:
In 2002, close to 9% of workers were dissatisfied with their jobs. Evening and night shift workers were more likely to be dissatisfied than were those with a regular daytime schedule. Dissatisfaction was more common among men who worked part time, but less common among women who worked part time. Dissatisfied workers tended to report more disability days than did those who were satisfied with their jobs.
Release date: 2006-10-17 - Articles and reports: 11-008-X20060019182Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper uses the 2003 General Social Survey (GSS) to examine the extent to which Canadians aged 15 and over feel a sense of mastery, or responsibility for what happens to them in life. A mastery scale, comprised of seven indicators measuring such elements as the respondent's perceived control over things that happen in life, problem solving capability, feelings of helplessness and the ability to accomplish goals, was used in the analysis. A statistical model was also designed to examine the influence of a number of socio-demographic, family, economic, community and well-being characteristics on the respondent's sense of personal control.

This paper provides a description of the conceptual framework of the modernized system of national quality-of-life statistics that Statistics Canada is planning to implement within the next 5 to 10 years. Consistent with 50 years of dialogue on the improvement of social statistics, the conceptual framework proposes the adoption of a micro-level approach to describe how society operates and help create a cohesive and integrated system of quality-of-life statistics.

This paper describes the current thinking at Statistics Canada about future directions in social statistics. It describes how the system of statistics on social statistics (which would be renamed quality of life statistics) will look like in the next 5 to 10 years if Statistics Canada adopts the transformative methodologies and dissemination products that are needed to meet the growing demand for more disaggregated, timely, granular, accessible and more responsive statistics on quality of life.
