  • 4. Projected Financial Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Canadian Universities for the 2020/21 Academic Year
    Articles and reports: 81-595-M2021002
    Description:

    The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted many segments of Canadian society, including post-secondary institutions given the uncertainty surrounding the enrolment of international students. With the current international travel restrictions in place in Canada and requests by health authorities to practice physical distancing, a large majority of universities were planning to utilize online learning as the primary teaching method for the entire 2020/21 academic year. Over the last decade, institutions have increasingly relied on international students' tuition fees as a revenue source. The aim of this paper was to assess, using projection scenarios, hypothetical financial losses for Canadian universities in the 2020/21 school year. These scenarios were based on a series of assumptions using forecasted international and domestic student registrations and recent trends in administrative and survey data.

  • 5. International students as a source of labour supply: The growing number of international students and their changing sociodemographic characteristics
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202100700005
    Description:

    The number of new international students (first-time study permit holders) in Canada has increased steadily since the mid-2000s, and reached 250,020 in 2019. Alongside this trend are increased efforts in attracting international students as a potential pool of candidates for permanent immigration and the Canadian labour force. To understand the nature of this potential pool of labour, this article provides a comprehensive analysis of who is coming to Canada as an international student.

  • 6. Leveraging postsecondary student employment into a career: The importance of remaining in the firm after graduation
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202100600005
    Description:

    Building a résumé during one’s postsecondary studies may provide postsecondary students with an advantage in the labour market after graduation. Although there are many ways to do so, this study will investigate one previously unexplored detail that students may leverage: building human capital with a specific employer. More specifically, the study estimates the relationship between post-graduation labour market outcomes and the type of match between the student job and the post-graduation job.

  • 7. Gendered impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the proportion of youth neither in employment nor education at the start of the school year
    Articles and reports: 75-006-X202100100003
    Description:

    This article examines the period of September to October 2020, which signalled the beginning of new school year and also the start of the second wave of COVID-19 in Canada. It illuminates the decisions that youth (and, in the case of secondary students, their parents) made about their schooling, and how the combination of these possibly difficult decisions, with the unprecedented drops in youth employment, affected the proportion of youth who were that youth not in employment, education or training - NEET.

    Frequency: Occasional
    Description:

    The proportion who received research funding in the past 5 years among university professors, instructors, teachers, or researchers, postdoctoral fellows and doctorate students by funding type (federal and non-federal), region, employment status, STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and BHASE (business, humanities, health, arts, social science, education, legal studies, trades, services, natural resources and conservation) groupings and selected population characteristics.

  • 10. Students’ experiences of unwanted sexualized behaviours and sexual assault at postsecondary schools in the Canadian provinces, 2019
    Articles and reports: 85-002-X202000100005
    Description: Using data from the Survey on Individual Safety in the Postsecondary Student Population, this Juristat article presents findings on the prevalence, characteristics and impacts of unwanted sexual behaviours, sexual assault and feelings of safety among students aged 18 to 24 at postsecondary schools in the Canadian provinces (17 to 24 for students living in Quebec). The context in which sexual assault and unwanted sexualized behaviours occurred—where they happened, who was responsible, and who was around—provides insight into the cultural underpinnings of unwanted sexualized behaviours on campus. Together with information on the attitudes and beliefs of students, this analysis provides an indication of postsecondary school culture when it comes to issues surrounding unwanted sexualized behaviours and sexual assault.
