- 1. Social anxiety disorder: Beyond shyness ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-S20040007419Geography: CanadaDescription:
The article "Social anxiety disorder-beyond shyness" is the first of several articles to be released this fall in Focus on Mental Health, this year's annual supplement to Health Reports' How Healthy are Canadians? series.
Based on data from the 2002 Canadian Community Health Survey: Mental Health and Well-being, it provides prevalence estimates of social anxiety disorder (also know as social phobia) among the Canadian population aged 15 or older. The age of onset, duration of symptoms and relationship with other mental disorders are discussed. To assess the burden of social anxiety disorder, associations with social support, functional disability and quality of life are examined. The number of people who sought treatment to help them deal with their social fears is also explored.
Release date: 2004-12-23 - 2. Immigrants in demand: Staying or leaving? ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X20040027004Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article explores the growing evidence that even some highly skilled immigrant workers are facing employment barriers that may increase their likelihood of leaving Canada. Using the Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB), landed immigrants are examined who arrived between 1990 and 1998 and intended to work as IT workers, physicians and health care managers or trades workers.
Release date: 2004-09-14 - Articles and reports: 11-010-X20040087009Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
This paper explores the dynamics of Social Assistance use over the 1990s to calculate annual incidence as well as entry and exit rates at both the national and provincial level, broken down by family type.
Release date: 2004-08-19 - Articles and reports: 11-621-M2004015Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article analyses the impact of widowhood on income, as well as changes in the low-income rate and the sources of income, among women 65 years of age and over, between 1990 and 2001, using data from Statistics Canada's Longitudinal Administrative Databank (LAD).
Release date: 2004-07-22 - 5. How Long Do People Live in Low-income Neighbourhoods? Evidence for Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0019M2004216Geography: Census metropolitan areaDescription:
This study uses longitudinal tax data to explore several undocumented aspects regarding the duration of time spent residing in low-income neighbourhoods (residential 'spells'). Although the length of new spells is generally substantial (at least compared with low-income spells), there is quite a lot of variation in this regard. Low-income neighbourhood spells exhibit negative duration dependence, implying that the longer people live in low-income neighbourhoods, the less likely they are to leave.
Length of spell varies substantially by age and city of residence and, to a lesser extent, by family income and family type. Specifically, older individuals remain in low-income neighbourhoods for longer periods of time than younger individuals, as do residents of Toronto and Vancouver (in relation to Montréal). Individuals in low-income families have longer spell lengths than those in higher income families and, among these low-income families, lone-parents and couples with children generally spend more time living in low-income neighbourhoods than childless couples and unattached individuals.
