- 1. Trading travellers - International travel trends ArchivedArticles and reports: 87-003-X19970043241Geography: CanadaDescription:
Canadians travel outside Canada for many different reasons. They want to escape the daily routine and pressures of life, recharge batteries and put day-to-day living back in perspective. Canadians want to relax, experience different cultures, expand their horizons, spend time with distant friends, explore and find adventure. For some people, business, employment, education or attending a convention is the motivation for travelling beyond our borders.

signed the "Open Skies" Agreement allowing both Canadian and American airlines to establish direct links between any pair of cities located on either side of the border. This opening of air space comes within the scope of the general movement towards free trade with our main trading partner and will stimulate competition among North American air carriers for the largest transborder market in the world. The outcome of the agreement on companies' long-term share of the market remains to be seen. The agreement provides for a three-year transition period to allow carriers to adjust to new market conditions. Although all the agreement's provisions have not yet come into effect, changes in the industry are already noticeable. Since it would be premature to draw conclusions about the impact of the agreement, we focus first on the effect of the pact on the market share that American and Canadian companies have cornered after a year of "Open Skies". Secondly, we study the possible impact of the agreement on various stakeholders. This analysis uses data from Statistics Canada's International Travel Survey (ITS).
Release date: 1997-04-03 - 3. RRSP participation - The sooner the better ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19970012993Geography: CanadaDescription:
How actively have young people been contributing to RRSPs? This article examines the rate of participation of 25 to 29 year-olds, their frequency of contribution, and average amounts deposited. Characteristics of RRSP contributors and the incidence of cash withdrawals are also examined.
Release date: 1997-03-14 - 4. Low incomes and RRSPs ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19970012994Geography: CanadaDescription:
The rate of RRSP participation of persons with low incomes has been increasing since the early 1980s. This note explores the reasons for this and examines participation among men and women by personal and family income.
Release date: 1997-03-14 - 5. Canadian Cancer Statistics ArchivedTable: 82F0008XDescription:
The special ten year anniversary edition of Canadian cancer statistics 1997 represents a collaborative effort between Statistics Canada, the National Cancer Institute of Canada, Health Canada, the Canadian Cancer Society, and provincial/territorial cancer registries. This 71 page monograph contains estimates of cancer incidence and mortality for 1997, historical (actual and estimated) data from 1969 to 1997, and selected indicators on the burden of cancer. Estimates were produced by modelling actual cancer incidence and mortality data by province for selected cancer sites. The special topic this year is a comparison of the burden of cancer in Canada in 1997 to that reported in the first edition in 1987.
Release date: 1997-03-06 - Articles and reports: 81-003-X19960043223Geography: CanadaDescription:
Unpredictability" and "transformation" are words often used to describe the contemporary labour market. Debate continues about the implications of the disruption of stable career and work patterns which were assumed to have been the norm in the Canadian workplace. Teaching, because it is the largest profession in Canada, is a useful venue for examining these labour market dynamics, especially transitions into and out of the profession. These entry and exit transitions, which are the central theme of this paper, are also of interest in a profession like teaching where university graduates have traditionally enjoyed a tight link to an established labour market.
