- 1. Colorectal cancer testing in Canada 2008 ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X200900310874Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article provides estimates of the reported level of colorectal cancer testing in the Canadian population aged 50 or older in 2008.
Release date: 2009-06-30 - 2. Thermostat use in Canadian homes ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-002-X200800310684Geography: CanadaDescription:
Turning down the temperature by just a few degrees at night is one way Canadians can reduce their home heating expenses while also reducing their impact on the environment. Using data from the 2006 Households and the Environment survey, this study examines home heating practices and temperature controlling behaviours.
Release date: 2008-09-25 - 3. Who uses water-saving fixtures in the home? ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-002-X200800310686Geography: CanadaDescription: Canadians use large amounts of water every day. Household fixtures such as low-flow shower heads and reduced volume toilets allow households to conserve water and reduce utility bills. The study uses data from the 1994 and 2006 Households and the Environment Surveys, to examine use of these water-saving fixtures.Release date: 2008-09-25
- Articles and reports: 16-002-X200800210620Geography: CanadaDescription: Using data from the Households and the Environment Survey, the study examines the characteristics of households drinking bottled water in the home.Release date: 2008-06-25
- 5. Kids' Sports ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X200800110573Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article will examine trends in organized sports participation of children aged 5 to 14, and the important role that the family plays. It will also look at the factors that influence children's participation in sports including parental involvement in sports, socio-demographic characteristics of the family, and geography.
Release date: 2008-06-03 - Articles and reports: 11-622-M2008019Geography: CanadaDescription:
University degree holders in large cities are more prevalent and are growing at a more rapid pace than in smaller cities and rural areas. This relatively high rate of growth stems from net migratory flows and/or higher rates of degree attainment in cities. Using data from the 1996 and 2001 Censuses, this paper tests the relative importance of these two sources of human capital growth by decomposing degree-holder growth across cities into net migratory flows (domestic and foreign) and in situ growth: that is, growth resulting from higher rates of degree attainment among the resident populations of cities. We find that both sources are important, with in situ growth being the more dominant force. Hence, it is less the ability of cities to attract human capital than their ability to generate it that underlies the high rates of degree attainment we observe across city populations.
Release date: 2008-06-02 - 7. Profiling Internet use among workers in the information and communications technologies sector ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X200800110597Geography: CanadaDescription:
Internet use is a key hallmark of an information society. Assessing Internet use today goes beyond access to encompass a cluster of behaviours that reflect the individual's ability to participate productively in an information economy. This study compares the pattern of Internet use of Canadians working in the information and communications technology industries with that of other Canadians.
Release date: 2008-05-22 - Articles and reports: 11-008-X200800110553Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines trends in the amount of time Canadians sleep. Sleep is important for our health and for our ability to interact and be sociable with others. Comparing groups of people in different job and family situations can help to identify influences, apart from our bodies' physiology, that affect our sleep. The article also investigates the differences in sleep times consistently reported between men and women.
Release date: 2008-04-22 - 9. RRSP investments ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200810213203Geography: CanadaDescription:
A wide variety of assets can be held in registered retirement savings plans ranging from investments with predictable values, like guaranteed investment certificates, to those whose values vary, like stocks of individual companies. Returns to these investments, and therefore income levels in retirement, can vary dramatically, depending on the economic climate and the mix of investments. This article examines the characteristics of families with RRSPs and the allocation of assets within their RRSPs according to the level of predictability of the return on investment.
Release date: 2008-03-18 - 10. High-income Canadians ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200710913194Geography: CanadaDescription:
No agreed-upon definition exists of what constitutes high income, either in dollar cut-offs or as a percentage of the population. Researchers have used widely varying methods, producing widely varying outcomes. This paper presents various criteria for defining high income and looks at some of the characteristics and behaviours of high-income taxfilers under these definitions. Income taxes paid and effective tax rates are also examined.
