- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202300700003Description: Before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, rapid advances in automation and artificial intelligence were often featured in discussions around the changing nature of work. The concern, which is still present today, centred around the possibility that machines and robots could perform certain tasks more efficiently than humans. The purpose of this study is to update the trends in the changing nature of work with new data covering the pandemic period (up to and including 2022).Release date: 2023-07-26
- Stats in brief: 11-627-M2021055Description:
A triple-protected job is one that has no predetermined end date, faces a low risk of automation, and is resilient to pandemics. This infographic presents characteristics of dual-earner couples that make them more or less likely to have both partners hold triple-protected jobs.
Release date: 2021-06-23 - Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202100100004Description:
In recent years, technological advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning have broadened the realm of tasks that have the potential to be accomplished through automation technology. Consequently, these developments have raised questions about the future of work. Debate on this issue has focused primarily on the risk of job loss attributable to automation, with less attention given to how automation may change the nature of workers’ jobs. This study employs a task-based approach that shifts the focus from job replacement to changes in the nature of Canadians’ work. This approach views occupations as a set of tasks, allowing researchers to assess the effects of automation in the context of changes in occupational tasks.

Recent improvements in robotics have rekindled ancient fears about the impact of robotics on humankind. Unfortunately, existing data seldom distinguishes robots from other types of automation, so research into their impact so far has been difficult. This article introduces research from a new Statistics Canada dataset, Robots!, on the impact of robots at the firm-level. The article examines the impact of robot investment on firm performance and employment at the enterprise level.
Release date: 2020-11-02 - Articles and reports: 11-626-X2020025Description:
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, advances in artificial intelligence and robotics raised concerns that automation might lead to relatively high unemployment rates in the coming years. This Economic Insights article examines the degree to which Canadians’ views about the impact of automation on net job creation in 1989 materialized three decades later.
Release date: 2020-11-02 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2020015Description:
Recent advances in artificial intelligence and machine-learning technologies have fuelled fears of potential job losses among some workers. While the net impact of new technology on total jobs can be negative, positive or neutral, some workers may be more affected than others depending on how easily robots and algorithms can replace them, or how easily their skills complement the new technology. In the case of women and men, it is not clear who is likely to be most affected. This study estimates the risk of job transformation as a result of automation technology faced by women and men.
Release date: 2020-09-24 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2020003Description:
From the early 2000s to the mid-2010s, the number of employees in manufacturing fell by roughly half a million in Canada. During that period, the percentage of Canadian men aged 21 to 55 employed mainly full time for at least 48 weeks in a given year fell by 5 percentage points, from 63.6% in 2000 to 58.6% in 2015. This study investigates whether the two trends are connected, i.e., whether the decline in manufacturing employment caused a decline in employment rates and wages among men.
Release date: 2020-01-15 - 8. I still feel overqualified for my job ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X20020036397Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article addresses overqualification, which concerns both workers and employers because people who hold jobs that make few demands on their skills have lower earnings and lower levels of productivity.
Release date: 2002-12-17 - Articles and reports: 88F0006X2001004Description:
The Survey of Innovation, Advanced Technologies and Practices in the Construction and Related Industries was conducted by Statistics Canada during the spring and summer of 1999. This working paper presents descriptive statistics on business environment, success factors, use and planned use of advanced technologies, use and planned use of advanced practices, source of information, obstacles and impact.
Release date: 2001-06-08 - 10. Innovation, Advanced Technologies and Practices in the Construction and Related Industries: Provincial Estimates ArchivedArticles and reports: 88F0006X2001003Description:
The Survey of Innovation, Advanced Technologies and Practices in the Construction and Related Industries was conducted by Statistics Canada during the spring and summer of 1999. It was based on a list of businesses classified to construction industries taken from the Statistics Canada's Business Register. The survey consists of eight sections with questions on business environment; success factors; use and planned use of advanced technologies; use and planned use of advanced practices; mergers, acquisitions and expansions; sources of information; obstacles; and impact.
