- 1. Self-contained Labour Areas: A Proposed Delineation and Classification by Degree of Rurality ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X2008008Geography: CanadaDescription:
One of the most common terms in economic and social reporting is that of "labour market". This concept is normally used with two main connotations, which to some extent overlap. The first emphasizes a set of employment norms, practices and trends that are in some cases specific to certain occupations or industries. The second connotation emphasizes the spatial dimension of the market, as the geographic area in which a multitude of labour activities occur. In this bulletin, our focus is on this second aspect: we identify a set of self-contained labour areas (SLAs), which in broad terms can be described as geographic spaces in which the majority of the residents in the labour force also have their place of work.
Release date: 2011-12-19 - 2. Living with the Farm Next Door ArchivedSurveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 96-328-M2004005Description:
This activity looks at the competing interests and potential for conflict between very large livestock farms and their rural neighbours.
Release date: 2004-06-09 - 3. Definitions of 'Rural' ArchivedSurveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 21-601-M2002061Description:
This paper compares six definitions of the word 'rural' from databases at Statistics Canada. Each definition emphasizes different criteria (population size, density, context) and has different associated thresholds. The size of the territorial units (building blocks) from which each definition is constructed also varies.
Release date: 2002-12-23 - 4. Definitions of Rural ArchivedSurveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 21-006-X2001003Geography: CanadaDescription:
The purpose of this bulletin is to review various responses to "Why are you asking about rural populations?"; to summarize and compare alternative definitions that have been used to delineate the "rural" population within the databases at Statistics Canada; and to offer alternative definitions of "rural" that would be appropriate to each reason for asking about the rural population.

Release date: 2001-07-04 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2000008Geography: CanadaDescription:

Release date: 2001-04-18 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2000007Geography: CanadaDescription:
The rural employment picture is changing quickly in Canada. As in most western nations, primary industries in Canada are losing jobs. This provides a challenge to national, provincial and local decision-makers to find new goods and services to export in order to help stabilise the employment levels in communities that are dependent upon primary sector employment. The purpose of this bulletin is to investigate the changing structure of primary sector employment in rural Canada in the 1980s and the 1990s. Specifically, we look at employment in the agricultural industry and employment in all other primary industries (i.e. fishing, logging and forestry, mining and oil and natural gas extraction, and hunting and trapping).
Release date: 2001-04-05 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2000006Geography: CanadaDescription:
The rural industrial picture is quickly changing in Canada. As in most western nations, primary industries in Canada are losing jobs while the service sector is employing more people every year. National, provincial and local decision-makers need an understanding of the mix and the trends of employment among the industrial sectors in rural areas to create policies and strategies that best meet the needs of rural areas. The purpose of this bulletin is to provide an overview of the structure of employment among industrial sectors in rural Canada in the 1980s and the 1990s.
