- Articles and reports: 75-001-X201100111402Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study examines four distinct states of retirement among older Canadians: fully retired; partially retired; previously retired but returned to work; and never retired. Using the 2009 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) Healthy Aging, it presents the socio-economic characteristics of each group, and discusses their differing work patterns and health.
Release date: 2011-01-31 - 2. Whither the workweek? ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200510613145Geography: CanadaDescription:
Changes in hours worked normally track employment changes very closely. Recently, however, employment has increased more than hours, resulting in an unprecedented gap. In effect, the average annual hours worked have decreased by the equivalent of two weeks. Many factors can affect the hours worked. Some are structural or cyclical - population aging, industrial shifts, the business cycle, natural disasters, legislative changes or personal preferences. Others are a result of the survey methodology. How have the various factors contributed to the recent drop in hours of work?
Release date: 2005-09-21 - 3. Earnings of temporary versus permanent employees ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200510113135Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study looks at the wage gap between temporary and permanent employees over the 1997 to 2003 period. The comparison is made according to type of temporary employment, since the characteristics of employees vary greatly according to whether they are term or contract, seasonal, casual, or from a temporary agency. Also addressed is the economic vulnerability of temporary workers: Does the wage gap persist when hours worked, earnings of other household members, and number of dependants are considered?
Release date: 2005-03-23 - 4. Patterns of volunteering over the life cycle ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X20010015701Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article probes how different mixes of social factors increase or diminish the likelihood that a person will be a volunteer at different stages of the life cycle.
Release date: 2001-06-12 - 5. Earnings of physicians ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19990044756Geography: CanadaDescription:
Earnings of physicians continue to exceed the overall average. This article presents a demographic and earnings profile of the medical profession and highlights changes between 1980 and 1995.
Release date: 1999-12-01 - 6. Self-employment in Canada and the United States ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19990034685Geography: CanadaDescription:
Considerable attention has been paid in recent years to self-employment in Canada, especially to workers' reasons for choosing this option. Have they been "pushed" by lack of full-time paid jobs or "pulled" by the positive benefits of self-employment? This article looks at the characteristics of the self-employed and the growth of self-employment in Canada and the United States.
Release date: 1999-09-01 - Articles and reports: 63-016-X19980044487Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines data on the seasonal patterns of demand for accomodation supplied by Canada's hotel and motel establishments during the 1996 reference year.
Release date: 1999-04-15 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M1999131Geography: CanadaDescription:
Using a regression decomposition approach, we find that, during the 1980s, the growth in the relative educational attainment of older workers has contributed to about one-quarter of the increase in the age-wage gap of men and women. During the 1990s, the age-wage gap increased to a much lesser extent. Changing relative educational attainment accounted for a much greater proportion of the much smaller increase in the gap: almost one-half for males and over three-quarters for women. We also find that, during the 1980s, the expected weekly wages associated with all levels of education fell for younger workers, both for men and women (from 2% to 16%, depending upon education level). Older employees, on the other hand, experienced mixed results. Expected weekly wages rose for some older workers and fell for some others.
Release date: 1999-03-22 - 9. The gambling industry: Raising the stakes ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19980044037Geography: CanadaDescription:
Since the introduction of casinos and video lottery terminals in the 1990s, growth in gambling has outstripped that of most other industries. This article updates an earlier examination of employment and government revenue for this industry, as well as average household spending on games of chance.
Release date: 1998-12-09 - 10. The rise of unionization among women ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19980044043Geography: CanadaDescription:
This profile of unionized women covers demographic and labour characteristics, wages, benefits and work arrangements. Also included are selected union statistics for both men and women. (This is an updated version of an article released shortly before Labour Day, 1998).
