The penetration rates of these commodities are analyzed in relation to several socioeconomic and demographic variables.
Virtually all households have a telephone, while almost three in four have cable, one in seven has their own cellular phone, and nearly one in three has a computer. Although half of the computer households have a modem, less than half of these particular households use their modem to access the Internet.
Household income strongly affects penetration rates for cellular phones, computers and Internet use. However, among those with a computer, education level is a stronger predictor of Internet use than income. In contrast, for cellular phone penetration rates, income is a stronger predictor than education.

10. Introduction Archived
Articles and reports: 89-553-X19980014017
Geography: Canada
Description:
The contributors to this book examine two broad themes related to the well-being of Canadian youth. First, they document the nature of the labour market facing young adults and how it has changed since they early 1970s. Second, the autors examine how families, communities, and the public sector influence some of the ways in which children become successful and self-reliant adults. The motivation for bringing these essays together has to do with the increasing importance of child well-being in public discourse and the development of public policy. The major message to emerge is that the future of Canada's children is both a good news, and a bad news story. Labour markets have changed dramatically, and on average it is now more difficult to obtain a strong foothold that will lead to increasing prosperity. Many young Canadians, however, are well prepared by their family and community backgrounds to deal with these new challenges, and as young parents are in a position to pass this heritage on their children. However, this has not been challenges in getting ahead in life. A companion volume published in February of 1998 by Statistics Canada called Government Finances and Generational Equity examines the operation of government taxes and transfers from a generational perspective, focusing on the conduct of fiscal policy and the relative status of individuals in successive generations.
