Release date: 1997-12-31 - Articles and reports: 75F0002M1997007Description:
This paper examines the patterns of the intergenerational transmission of education and socio-economic status among immigrants, visible minorities and Aboriginal workers using the 1993 Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) data.
Release date: 1997-12-31 - 3. Working more? Less? What do workers prefer? ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19970043384Geography: CanadaDescription:
Although two-thirds of workers are satisfied with their hours, many of the remainder would prefer to work more hours for more pay. This article analyzes work hour preferences by sex, province, job characteristics and family situation. (Adapted froman Analytical Studies Branch research paper published in May1997.)
Release date: 1997-12-10 - 4. The Nation : 1996 Census of Population ArchivedTable: 93F0023XDescription:
The Nation is the first series to release basic data from the 1996 Census, providing national coverage. This series covers characteristics of the population, including demographic, social, cultural, labour force and income variables as well as details on dwellings, households and families. Generally the data are represented for Canada, Provinces, Territories and Census Metropolitan Areas. Some tables include comparisons with data from earlier censuses.
Release date: 1997-11-04 - Public use microdata: 75M0001GDescription:
Documentation to accompany public-use microdata files. Contains a detailed description of the survey design, content and methods, as well as the record layout and the data dictionary.
Release date: 1997-10-31 - 6. Funding school systems: 25-year review ArchivedArticles and reports: 81-003-X19970023226Geography: CanadaDescription:
For many years, education has been the focus of considerable attention in Canada. This attention does not originate only from the usual stakeholders, such as governments, school boards, and teachers' unions. It comes also from the general population and from interest groups such as the business community and labour market analysts.
Release date: 1997-09-29 - 7. Non-permanent paid work ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19970033206Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article compares permanent and non-permanent jobs. It looks at wages, hours, benefits and work schedules, among other aspects. The definition of non-permanent work arrangements, the diversity of these jobs, and the characteristics of the workers are also considered.
Release date: 1997-09-10 - 8. the Nation : 1996 Census of Population ArchivedTable: 93F0021XDescription:
This is the first set of data in The Nation series released from the 1996 Census, providing national coverage. These cover characteristics of the population on age and sex. Generally the data are represented for Canada, Provinces, Territories and Census Metropolitan Areas. Some tables include comparisons with data from earlier censuses.
Release date: 1997-07-29 - 9. Measuring the age of retirement ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19970023071Geography: CanadaDescription:
The purpose of this article is to present a method of estimating the distribution of ages at retirement (and from these distributions, medians), and to describe what these distributions look like over time, by such characteristics as retirees' education, sex, employment class and industry of last employment.
Release date: 1997-06-11 - 10. Job-related education and training - Who has access? ArchivedArticles and reports: 81-003-X19970013089Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article focuses on the incidence of job-related education and training among the population and among workers, differentiating whether or not the training activities were employer-supported. It also explores the likelihood of receiving job-related education and training in 1993 using two complementary statistical approaches: first, a direct reading of the distribution of participants in education and training compared with the distribution of the population, divided by major characteristics; and, second, the use of a statistical technique (logistic regression) that considers each characteristic while taking others into account. In the analysis, several characteristics were retained: four demographic characteristics (sex, age, educational attainment and province of residence) and seven labour market variables (labour market status, occupation, industry, job tenure, company size, total income and union status). (For the logistic regression analysis, all these variables were decomposed into a series of dichotomous variables).

Release date: 1997-05-30 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M1997104Geography: CanadaDescription:
Faced with high unemployment rates, an unequal distribution of worktime, and shifts to temporary, part-time and contract employment, Canadian workers may prefer to change their work hours. Using data from the Survey of Work Arrangements of 1995, we find that two thirds of Canadian workers are satisfied with their work hours. The majority of workers who are not satisfied would prefer more hours for more pay rather than fewer hours for less pay. This finding is robust as it holds for each age group, education level, seniority level, industrial and occupational group. Workers most likely to want more work hours are generally young, have low levels of education, have little seniority, hold temporary jobs, work short hours and are employed in low-skill occupations. Workers who are the most likely to desire a shorter work week are professionals, managers, and natural and social science workers, have high hourly wage rates, possess high levels of education, have long job tenure, occupy permanent jobs and already work long hours. Calculations based on the Survey on Work Reduction of 1985 suggest that if Canadian workers were to voluntarily reduce their work week, the number of work hours available for redistribution would unlikely be sufficient to both eliminate underemployment and reduce unemployment. The potential for work time redistribution, as measured by the propensity to desire fewer hours, appears to be greatest (lowest) in age-education groups with relatively low (high) unemployment rates. This implies that the resulting decrease in unemployment and underemployment could be more pronounced in groups where workers are already relatively successful.
Release date: 1997-05-13 - 9. Depression: An undertreated disorder? ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X19960043021Geography: CanadaDescription:
In 1994, an estimated 6% of Canadians aged 18 and over - 1.1 million adults - experienced a Major Depressive Episode (MDE). Although depression is amenable to treatment, fewer than half (43%) the people who met the criteria of having experienced an MDE in the past year (approximately 487,000) reported talking to a health professional about their emotional or mental health. Furthermore, only 26% of those who had an MDE reported four or more such consultations. As expected, depression that was not chronic was more likely to be untreated. In addition, MDE sufferers whose physical health was good and those who had not recently experienced a negative life event were less likely to be treated. However, after controlling for these factors, a multivariate model suggests that lower educational attainment and inadequate income acted as barriers to treatment. Relatively few contacts with a general practitioner substantially reduced the odds of being treated. Also, men and married people who were depressed were less likely to receive treatment. With data from Statistics Canada's 1994-95 National Population Health Survey (NPHS), this article examines the characteristics of people who met the criteria for having had an MDE, but who discontinued or did not receive treatment. The selection of explanatory variables was informed by an established theoretical framework of individual determinants of health service utilization, proposed by Andersen and Newman. Logistic regression was used to predict the probability of not being treated among people who experienced an MDE.
Release date: 1997-04-21 - Articles and reports: 81-003-X19960043221Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article previews the findings of the 1995 School Leavers Follow-up Survey. The information will interest people in areas such as education or youth employment: policy makers, community advocates, teachers, counsellors, administrators, and young people themselves. Included is basic information about the education, training and labour market experiences of youth during the first few years after leaving or graduating from high school. A comprehensive report on school-work transitions among youth will follow later in 1997.
