Description: Indigenous-owned businesses are a growing and important component of Canada’s economic landscape. These businesses not only contribute to entrepreneurship and community development but also serve as important sources of employment for Indigenous people. This study represents a novel contribution to the evidence base. Statistics Canada first helped close a critical data gap by developing a framework to identify Indigenous business owners and Indigenous-owned businesses. Building on that foundation, the present analysis extends the work to fill another gap, providing data on Indigenous employment within Indigenous-owned businesses.

Description: Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the potential to transform the nature of work, and its ability to replace human labour remains a central concern.

Description: Canada’s business sector has a lower level of labour productivity compared with that of the United States. Moreover, there has been a substantial divergence in labour productivity in the business sectors of Canada and the United States since 2000. As a result, Canada’s labour productivity gap with the United States widened in that period. This paper examines the role of firm size in the widening labour productivity gap between the two countries since 2000.
