- 1. Active Enterprises in Canada, 2019 ArchivedStats in brief: 11-627-M2021082Description:
The entrepreneurship indicator database provides data describing the dynamics of a subset of Canadian enterprises, such as the number of active enterprises with one or more employees, the number of high-growth enterprises, the number of births and deaths of active enterprises with one or more employees, the survival of newly created enterprises, and more.
Release date: 2021-11-10 - 2. Cities and Growth: The Left Brain of North American Cities: Scientists and Engineers and Urban Growth ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-622-M2008017Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper examines the growth of human capital in Canadian and U.S. cities. Using pooled Census of Population data for 242 urban centres, we evaluate the link between long run employment growth and the supply of different types of skilled labour. The paper also examines whether the scientific capabilities of cities are influenced by amenities such as the size of the local cultural sector.
The first part of the paper investigates the contribution of broad and specialized forms of human capital to long-run employment growth. We differentiate between employed degree holders (a general measure of human capital) and degree holders employed in science and cultural occupations (specific measures of human capital). Our growth models investigate long-run changes in urban employment from 1980 to 2000, and control for other factors that have been posited to influence the growth of cities. These include estimates of the amenities that proxy differences in the attractiveness of urban areas.
The second part of the paper focuses specifically on a particular type of human capital'degree holders in science and engineering occupations. Our models evaluate the factors associated with the medium- and long-run growth of these occupations. Particular attention is placed on disentangling the relationships between science and engineering growth and other forms of human capital.

Rapid progress in skilled-biased technologies has increased the demand for skilled workers in all countries. The importance of skills for innovation and productivity in Canada is examined in this Industry Canada study.
Release date: 2002-11-01 - Articles and reports: 88-001-X20010047917Description:
Biotechnology is an enabling technology - one that has been compared to electricity or microelectronics - because it has the potential to transform production processes, products and services in a wide range of sectors of the economy. At present, major applications of biotechnology are taking place in health, agriculture and agrifood, and natural resources (e.g. forestry and mining). This survey is intended to quantify the level of industrial activity in biotechnology research and development by sector of application and to reveal trends in spending.
Release date: 2001-05-18 - Articles and reports: 88F0017M1996003Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper examines a number of significant changes (real or perceived) related to wages and earnings, in the Canadian context, since the recession of the early 1980s.
