- 1. The job search of the older unemployed ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X201200311698Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines the job-search behaviour of the older unemployed by comparing it with that of their younger counterparts, using data from the Employment Insurance Coverage Survey from 2006 to 2010. It looks at age differences in the number of hours spent looking for work and the methods used. It also examines two aspects that may affect the probability of finding a job quickly - looking for work outside one's community and the willingness of the unemployed to accept job offers with a lower wage than in the previous job. Lastly, it examines the level of optimism of the older unemployed about their chances of finding an acceptable job quickly, as well as what, in their view, would help them most in their efforts.
Release date: 2012-08-22 - 2. The Canadian Immigrant Labour Market in 2006: First Results from Canada's Labour Force Survey ArchivedArticles and reports: 71-606-X2007001Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper will present the labour market outcomes based on data collected by the Labour Force Survey in 2006 for core working-age immigrants (those aged 25 to 54), since they are more likely to have completed school and less likely to have entered retirement than those in the 15 and over group. A brief demographic profile of all immigrants will be presented followed by analysis of the labour market outcomes of core working-age immigrants nationally, by province, selected census metropolitan areas (CMA) and by sex. The labour market outcomes for immigrant youths and immigrants aged 55 and over will follow, in addition to a discussion of education-based outcomes for the core-aged immigrants, the industries in which these immigrants work, as well as their occupations.
Release date: 2007-09-10 - 3. Minimum wage workers ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200410313116Geography: CanadaDescription:
Although minimum wage workers are often young people living with their parents, other workers in this category are trying to support families. To evaluate the effects of a change in the minimum wage, it is essential to know who work for minimum wage and the types of jobs they hold.
Release date: 2004-06-14 - 4. Sidelined in the labour market ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200410413118Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper examines the costs of long-term unemployment. In economic terms, it leads to lower tax revenues, lower productivity and costlier social and health care programs. On a personal level, it is associated with financial difficulties, loss of self-esteem and health problems.
Release date: 2004-06-14 - Articles and reports: 87-004-X20020036754Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines some of the many factors that influence the well-being of Canada's culture sector and its workforce: the country's general economic conditions; government programs and policies; and consumer demand, of both domestic and imported culture goods and services.
The forces of economic, social, political and technological change are radically transforming the world of culture and its labour force. The 1980s saw a rapid expansion of the culture workforce to meet increased demand for culture goods and services. This period of growth paused with the 1990/91 recession: jobs, earnings and revenues all fell off. With the end of the recession, the labour market rebounded and culture workers rode this high employment wave throughout the remainder of the decade.
Countries have become more conscious of the role that culture plays in their development, their identity and the sustenance of their value systems. In many countries culture sectors are now targets of international economic development policies. Global trade and the continued high demand in Canada for imported culture goods and services make the culture economy in this country (and, in turn, employment in the culture sector) variable and highly competitive.
Release date: 2004-01-13 - Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016303Description:
This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
In large-scale surveys, it is almost guaranteed that some level of non-response will occur. Generally, statistical agencies use imputation as a way to treat non-response items. A common preliminary step to imputation is the formation of imputation cells. In this article, the formation of these cells is studied using two methods. The first method is similar to that of Eltinge and Yansaneh (1997) in the case of weighting cells and the second is the method currently used in the Canadian Labour Force Survey. Using Labour Force data, simulation studies are performed to test the impact of the response rate, the response mechanism, and constraints on the quality of the point estimator in both methods.
Release date: 2002-09-12 - Journals and periodicals: 72F0020XGeography: CanadaDescription:
This research paper summarizes the approach, methodology and results of a study of the labour market behaviour of persons in various categories of attachment to the labour market. The analysis focuses on the transition probabilities for various categories of labour market attachment. Specifically, the study will include a discussion of the behavioural differences of the following groups:
a) a comparison of transitions from U (unemployed), M (marginally attached - wants work) and N (not attached - does not want work); b) a further breakdown of the transitions from U by active searchers, passive searchers, those on temporary layoff and short-term future starts; c) a further breakdown of transitions for M by reason for not searching; and d) a further breakdown of transitions from N by long-term future starts and other.
The study will be based on 1997-1999 Labour Force Survey data.
