- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202600200001Description: This study provides a partial update to a 2022 report on the contribution of women to gross domestic product (GDP). Using firm-level data from the Canadian Employee-Employer Dynamics Database, it estimates and examines the contribution to the components of GDP (capital income, labour income, and mixed income), and the contribution to GDP by sector. This update covers the period from 2013 to 2022, which allows it to add to evidence on the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on women's participation in the market economy.Release date: 2026-02-25
- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202500400004Description: The unit labour cost (ULC) is often used as a broad measure of international price competitiveness. It deviates from the inflation rate when the real wage rate and labour productivity grow at different paces. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada has experienced an acceleration of unit labour cost growth and a significant upward deviation from the inflation rate, while this has not happened in the United States. This article explores the sources of the Canada–U.S. ULC growth gap and the factors contributing to its widening.Release date: 2025-04-23
- Data Visualization: 71-607-X2020009Description: This dashboard presents selected data that are relevant for monitoring the impacts of COVID-19 on economic activity in Canada. It includes data on a range of monthly indicators—real GDP, consumer prices, the unemployment rate, merchandise exports and imports, retail sales, hours worked and manufacturing sales—as well as monthly data on aircraft movements, railway carloadings, and travel between Canada and other countries.
Estimates are presented from January 2019 to the current reference month for each data series. The information will be updated continuously as new data becomes available, and additional series may be added to the dashboard as circumstances warrant.
To support the analysis of time series movements in the data, the dashboard reports changes in each series on both a month-over-month and year-over-year basis. For most of the variables reported, information on cumulative changes in the data both prior and subsequent to the end of 2019 is also presented by indexing the level estimates to December 2019, as depicted in the accompanying charts.
Release date: 2024-01-15 - Articles and reports: 11-621-M2023007Description: This analysis serves as a more in-depth look into the largest contributors and detractors to growth in each province and territory and supports the data published in The Daily on May 1, 2023.Release date: 2023-06-08
- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202300400004Description: The COVID-19 pandemic affected the Canadian economy in numerous ways, one of which was changing the relationship between growth in production, and changes in real consumption and real gross fixed capital formation (GFCF). Typically, real consumption and real GFCF are expected to progress similarly to real gross domestic product (GDP), however during the period covered by the COVID-19 pandemic, real consumption and real GFCF grew at a stronger pace than real GDP. This article illustrates how examining real income rather than real production can address this paradox. Specifically, the roles of changes in production (the use of capital, labour and multifactor productivity used to produce real GDP) and changes in non-production sources of real income growth (the trading gain and net income from abroad) are examined.Release date: 2023-05-08
- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202201000002Description: Rising wages and prices have characterized 2021 and 2022. Soaring unit labour costs have raised competitiveness concerns. This article examines the relationship between real wages and productivity to see whether real wage growth (growth in real total compensation per hour worked) has lagged behind labour productivity growth in recent years. It examines whether the result is sensitive to differences in the definition of real wages.Release date: 2022-10-27
- Articles and reports: 11-621-M2022013Description: This analysis takes a deeper look into gross domestic product (GDP) by industry in the provinces and territories in 2021 following the unprecedented public health measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.Release date: 2022-08-12
- Stats in brief: 11-621-M2022010Description:
This special edition of Analysis in Brief provides information on National Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at basic prices, by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) aggregates for the month of April and advance information for May 2022. The purpose of this statistical program is to provide information for current economic analysis. It provides a measure of the economic production which takes place within the geographical boundaries of Canada. For more information please consult Surveys and statistical programs (program #1301) and The Daily.
Release date: 2022-06-30 - Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202200500002Description: The COVID-19 Pandemic has been affecting Canadians’ daily lives since the second quarter of 2020. Production and employment were cut back largely at the beginning in order to slow the spread of this contagious disease, leading to a sharp decline in income and a rise in the unemployment rate. GDP per capita of a country is often used for assessing the standard of living and its cross-country comparisons. Since 2020, Canada’s per capita GDP has averaged -1.3% per year, down from its long-term annual average of 1.2% from 1981 to 2019 and from 1.0% per year from 2010 to 2019. For a better understanding of the sources of Canada’s per capita GDP growth, this article decomposes GDP per capita into labour productivity, work intensity, employment rate, participation rate, and the share of working population. The contributions of these 5 ratios to Canada’s per capita GDP growth are examined.Release date: 2022-05-25
- Articles and reports: 13-605-X202100100003Description:
COVID-19's impact on the economy was far reaching. Canadian businesses borrowed money form multiple sources to help guide them through the pandemic. Using data derived from the National Economic Accounts Division, Bank of Canada, and International Accounts and Trade Division this paper examines trends observed in the business debt financing market leading up to and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how production occurs in the economy in two ways. One is the full or partial closure of non-essential activities such as travel, hospitality, arts and entertainment, personal services, airlines, etc. The other is the widespread shift from in-office work to working from home. This Insights article depicts labour productivity growth in Canada and its sources by industry during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to examine the implications these changes may have had on the productivity performance of the economy.
