- 151. Converging gender roles ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610713167Geography: CanadaDescription:
The division of labour between men and women continues to evolve. Today's couples have a much more equal partnership in sharing financial, child care and household responsibilities. This has been brought about in large part by the expanding economic role of women, which has helped erode the idea that men should be primarily responsible for paid work while women look after unpaid household and family duties.
Release date: 2006-09-19 - 152. Unemployment since 1971 ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610513164Geography: CanadaDescription:
Between 1971 and 2005, Canada's labour force became more educated in line with the increased credentials of new entrants, while the aging of the workforce shifted the experience profile upwards. However, this was not reflected in unemployment rates, which were for the most part slightly higher in 2005 than in 1971. What factors are at play? The article looks at specific age-education combinations to yield a more nuanced long-term perspective on current labour market conditions.

Over the last three years, low interest rates have spurred a surge in home construction, and strong world demand has stimulated natural resource industries.

Release date: 2006-03-20 - 155. On the road again ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610113156Geography: CanadaDescription:
Trucking plays a major role in Canada's economy. But because of the sector's steady growth, an aging workforce, and the declining popularity of the occupation, the industry may soon face a shortage of qualified truckers. A recent overall picture of truck drivers based on various sources is presented.
Release date: 2006-03-20 - 156. Youth and the labour market ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200511113152Geography: CanadaDescription:
After a period of decline from the late 1980s to mid-1990s, the youth employment rate (aged 15 to 24) rebounded between 1997 and 2004. Most of the jobs were in industries that traditionally hire large numbers of young people, including food services. The article documents the growth in youth employment by age, sex, industry and province.
Release date: 2005-12-22 - 157. Female participation in the culture sector workforce ArchivedArticles and reports: 87-004-X20030028447Geography: CanadaDescription:

Release date: 2005-06-13 - 160. Employment trends in nursing ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200411113130Geography: CanadaDescription:
Nurses make up the largest proportion of health workers in Canada. However, these days they are under increasing pressure. Their average age has increased, enrolment in nursing programs declined during the 1990s, and employment of lower-paid unregulated workers has increased.
