- 1. The Internet: Who's connected, who's shopping? ArchivedArticles and reports: 87-004-X20010026043Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article is a synopsis of an article published previously by the Science, Innovation, and Electronic Information Division, Statistics Canada. It highlights the sections that we believe are of most interest to readers from the culture sector drawing data from the 1999 Household Internet Use Survey (HIUS).
Release date: 2001-12-19 - 2. The male-female wage gap ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X20010126036Geography: CanadaDescription:
The issue of male-female wage inequality is complex, and requires analysis from a number of different perspectives. This article demonstrates the importance of measurement, decomposition techniques and differences in the gap along the wage scale.
Release date: 2001-12-17 - 3. Private pension savings, 1999 ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X20010126037Geography: CanadaDescription:
This report focuses on employer pension plan assets, together with other private pension assets such as registered retirement savings plans. It also presents estimates of net worth, including the value of employer pension plan benefits.
Release date: 2001-12-17 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X20010016021Geography: CanadaDescription:
In 1998/99, 3.8 million adults reported having used the services of an alternative practitioner in the previous year. This was not a rejection of conventional health care, as users of alternative practitioners were more likely than non-users to have a regular physician and also to have consulted specialists.
Release date: 2001-12-13 - 5. Determinants of self-perceived health ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20010016023Geography: CanadaDescription:
The factors related to the way that individuals view their health extend beyond physical conditions to include lifestyle, psychological variables and socio-economic status. Change in health status, in health behaviour and in psycho-social factors is also related to self-perceived health.
Release date: 2001-12-13 - 6. Early retirement trends ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X20010095984Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article looks at the characteristics of people currently retiring before the age of 60.
Release date: 2001-12-12 - Articles and reports: 75-001-X20010095987Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study examines the number of Canadians usually working from home over the past three decades.
Release date: 2001-12-12 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2001178Geography: CanadaDescription:
The school performance of the children of immigrants in the Canadian school system is analyzed using data from the first three waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY). School performance is measured in terms of ability at reading, writing, mathematics and overall aptitude. The parents' and teachers' assessments of the children's performances are used, as are the results of formal testing. On average, children of immigrants generally do at least as well as the children of the Canadian-born along each dimension of school performance. The children of immigrant parents whose first language is either English or French have especially high outcomes. The children of other immigrant parents have lower performance in reading, writing and composition but their performance in mathematics is comparable to that of the children of Canadian-born parents. It is also found that with more years in the Canadian education system, the performance of these children in reading, writing and mathematics improves and is equal to or greater than the performance of the children of Canadian-born parents by age thirteen in virtually all areas of performance.
Release date: 2001-11-14 - 9. After the layoff ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X20010105960Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study looks at the results of permanent layoffs from full-time jobs. How long does it take laid-off workers to find a new job? What factors affect the length of joblessness? For those who are successful in finding a new job, what is the wage gap between the old job and the new one? What factors influence this wage gap?
Release date: 2001-10-25 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2001171Geography: CanadaDescription:
A framework for thinking about intergenerational mobility as it relates to the relationship between parent and child incomes as well as evidence on the degree and sources of intergenerational mobility in Canada is reviewed. The major conclusion is that Canadian society is characterized by a good deal of intergenerational mobility, and the available evidence suggests that being raised in low-income does not pre-ordain children to low-income in adulthood. Canada compares well in this regard to many other countries, being characterized on average by more mobility than the U.S. or U.K. and on a par with some of the most mobile nations. The sources for this pattern have to do with access to high quality education, and high quality non-monetary investments in children. However, there is no clear evidence linking the level of family income to the nature of these investments.
