Release date: 2001-12-12 - 2. Skill Shortages and Advanced Technology Adoption ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0019M2001175Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper investigates the extent to which establishments in the Canadian manufacturing sector experience occupational skill shortages, and to the extent that they do, whether these shortages appear to act as impediments to advanced technology adoption. Plants adopting advanced technology report shortages, particularly when it comes to professionals, such as scientists and engineers, and to technical specialists. Whether these shortages pose labour-market problems depends very much on the solutions adapted by the establishments experiencing the shortages. This paper finds that labour shortages did not appear to block technology adoption since those establishments that reported shortages were also the most technologically advanced. Although they faced a greater need for skilled labour, they were able to solve their shortages.

Canada's economic growth and competitiveness depends on scientific and technological development and also on the people responsible for this development, especially those engaged in research and development (R&D). The number of R&D personnel is a supplementary measure to the statistics on intramural expenditures on R&D. In this report some statistical estimates and definitions concerning R&D personnel are presented. Data on R&D personnel are derived from surveys and from estimates based on various data sources.
Release date: 2001-09-11 - Articles and reports: 21-601-M2001050Description:
This paper investigates the changing structure of employment among industrial sectors in rural and small town (RST) Canada between 1987 and 1999.
Release date: 2001-07-12 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2001001Geography: CanadaDescription:
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide an overview of the producer services sector in rural Canada.
Release date: 2001-07-04 - Journals and periodicals: 81-586-XDescription:
In today's emerging knowledge societies, the capacity of labour markets, firms and individuals to adjust to change, improve productivity and capitalize on technological innovation depends in large measure on the skills of the adult population. Improving the stock of skills available to the economy through investment in adult education and workplace learning has therefore become an issue of considerable strategic importance. But how are the Canadian markets for adult education and training evolving?
This report presents, for the first time, evidence on the development of adult education and training in Canada during the last decade. Examined are not only broad trends in the demand and supply of adult education, but also the factors contributing to observed developments. Survey data collected in 1998 allow readers to gauge the current situation and make comparisons over time and across Canadian provinces. The findings indicate, first, that growth in adult education participation has slowed in recent years, and second, that there are major differences between the provinces in who gets trained, and how much.
Release date: 2001-05-10 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2000008Geography: CanadaDescription:
The purpose of this bulletin is to focus on the role of manufacturing sector in rural Canada during the 1980s and the 1990s.
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).

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.
Release date: 2001-03-21 - 10. Results of the Tax Permission Questionnaire in the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics ArchivedArticles and reports: 75F0002M2001002Description:
This study analyses the results of the tax permission question (the choice of reporting income by interview or giving Statistics Canada permission to access tax records) in the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) for the reference year 1997. Rates are compared among various sub-groups of the population to see if there are any variations based on identifiable characteristics.
