Using data from the Survey on Accessibility in Federal Sector Organizations (SAFSO), this fact sheet examines the accessibility barriers that persons with difficulties or long-term conditions encountered during their interactions with federally regulated organizations or businesses. It provides information on the overall prevalence of encountering a barrier as well as specifically looking at the barriers related to the area of transportation, information and communication technologies (ICT) and communication. Each section is examined by several characteristics, including age group, gender, type of difficulty, sexual orientation, and income.

It is difficult to imagine, particularly for younger Canadians, that mobile telecommunications devices were a curiosity only 20 years ago. In fact, mobile communications were not that common as recently as 10 years ago when less than 2 million devices were connected to our wireless networks. While the rate of adoption of the Internet in Canada is one of the highest in the world and the rate of adoption of satellite television is showing signs of a slowdown, there still seems to be considerable potential for growth in the wireless telecommunications industry.

This report analyses the growth of information and communications technology (ICT) industries and science-based industries. It includes statistics on gross domestic product (GDP), employment, productivity, profitability, knowledge workers, investments in research and development, and expenditures on information and communications technology.

This article explores the use of simple everyday automated products and services that have become widely available over the last 15 years, such as automated banking machines (ABMs), video cassette recorders (VCRs), and answering machines.

In studies of business innovation, the term innovation process is used to describe (i) the array of sources and objectives that culminate in the act of innovation, (ii) the set of market effects that result from innovation, and (iii) the obstacles that firms encounter when pursuing innovation strategies. An examination of the innovation process is thus designed to bring about a more comprehensive understanding of the characteristics that innovative firms share, as well as of those characteristics that set innovators apart from other businesses. The Survey of Innovation, 1996 examined innovation in three dynamic service industries: communications, financial services, and technical business services.
This paper explores the principal findings to emerge from the Survey of Innovation, 1996. Two themes are apparent. In the first instance, many elements of the innovation process are common to all the service industries studied, such as an emphasis on product innovation, a strong customer orientation, and a commitment to service quality. Beyond these common elements, however, differences in competitive pressures across these industries serve to engender important differences in innovation strategies. Accordingly, much of what we can ultimately learn about the innovation process occurs at the industry level.

In just over a decade, the cellular telephone industry has grown to close to one fifth the size of the traditional teletphone segment of the industry, experiencing an annual revenue growth rate between 22% and 29%. By December 1997, there were just over 4 million cellular telephone subscribers in Canada - a 22% increase over the previous year - more than double the level of subscribers in 1994.

You thought it was obvious but the ICT sector that everyone is talking about hasn't had an official definition - until now. We sorted through the SIC (1980) codes and selected 20 that fit. Next issue - the NAICS-based definitions.
Release date: 2000-01-17 - 8. Canada's Preparedness for the Year 2000 Computer Problem: Findings from the February 1999 Survey ArchivedArticles and reports: 61F0057M1999004Description:
An extensive survey on preparedness for the Year 2000 computer bug was conducted by Statistics Canada in February and March of 1999. Senior managers in some 10,100 public and private organizations from across Canada were contacted. They were asked about the various steps that their organizations might have taken to address the Year 2000 issue, including: assessment, conversion and testing of systems for Year 2000 compliance; communications with business partners (customers, suppliers and service providers), and Year 2000-related contingency planning. Questions on the timelines that had been established for completing these preparations were also included.
In general, most businesses and organizations said they had taken at least some steps to prepare their systems. Respondents also reported they were confident that their organizations would be ready in time for the Year 2000, and most organizations expected to be ready before the end of September of 1999. Preparations, however, generally remained a work in progress, and some organizations were not planning to finish until the last quarter of the year. This report includes detailed tabulations of the survey results, with breakdowns for 16 industrial sectors and five geographic regions.
Release date: 1999-06-21 - 9. Obtaining a job ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19990014409Geography: CanadaDescription:
Of the 8.4 million job hirings that took place during 1994 and 1995, most were the result of informal recruitment methods as opposed to traditional responses to job advertisements. This study, which complements Perspectives' Autumn 1998 article on job search methods, examines worker and firm traits that influence the matching of jobs and workers.
