- 1,721. How Far to the Nearest Physician? ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X1998005Geography: CanadaDescription:
When Canadians need to see a doctor, the cost of physician services is not a barrier. However, travel distance may restrict some people's access to health services. This article examines the proximity of the population to physicians. From a representative point within each of Canada's 45,995 Enumeration Areas (EAs), we calculated the aerial distance to the nearest physician.
Release date: 1999-03-30 - 1,722. Employment Patterns in the Non-metro Workforce ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X1998002Geography: CanadaDescription:
Job creation is one major focus of rural development initiatives. The purpose of this bulletin is to provide an overview of employment and unemployment patterns in the non-metro workforce. In this bulletin, we combined the rural and small town population (as defined in ANALYSIS BULLETIN No. 1) with the Census Agglomeration (CA) population to constitute the non-metro population (see "Definitions" box). Our results for the overall non-metro workforce also apply to the rural and small town component of the non-metro workforce (refer to Employment Patterns in the Non-metro Workforce {Ottawa: Statistics Canada, Agriculture and Rural Working Paper No. 35, Cat. No. 21-601-MPE98035}).
Release date: 1999-02-23 - 1,723. The Composition of Business Establishments in Smaller and Larger Communities in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X1998003Geography: CanadaDescription:
One component of a development strategy for rural communities is often to promote the establishment and growth of business enterprises. The purpose of this bulletin is to provide an overview of businesses with one or more employees located in smaller communities (incorporated towns and municipalities with less than 20,000 population).
Release date: 1999-02-22 - 1,724. The status of women faculty in Canadian universities ArchivedArticles and reports: 81-003-X19980024077Geography: CanadaDescription:
In this article we describe changes in the pay and rank of women in Canadian universities over a period when universities evolved from small institutions serving a priveledged minority to much larger and more diverse institutions.
Release date: 1998-12-07 - 1,725. Intergenerational equity: policy and data implications ArchivedArticles and reports: 89-553-X19980014027Geography: CanadaDescription:
I examine three questions in this paper : 1. Does existing knowledge about intergenerational transfers, both public and private, provide the basis for effective policy choices? What is missing? What is needed, in particular by Canada's statistical system? 2. With an aging society, rapidly shifting labour markets, and shrinking social transfers in Canada, is a new generational compact emerging? and 3. What are the roles of differing models of inter-generational transfers, indeed of the demo-graphic concept of generation itself, in defining the field of policy options for Canadians in the late 1990s? In addressing these questions, I rely on analyses and a framework developed in McDaniel (1997).
Release date: 1998-11-05 - 1,726. Intergenerational equity: the objectives of policy ArchivedArticles and reports: 89-553-X19980014028Geography: CanadaDescription:
To gain a perspective on the issues that have and have not been covered by the authors I propose to note the key elements in the legacy that younger generations should hope to receive from their predecessors. In view of the comments that I will make later about the elderly I should make it clear that central aspects of the prevailing life cycle are taken as given : children live with a parent or parents and acquire education and skills until late adolescence or young adulthood when they enter the labour market and form their own household more or less at the same time.
Release date: 1998-11-05 - 1,727. Rural and Small Town Population is Growing in the 1990's ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X1998001Geography: CanadaDescription:
Rural and small town Canada continues to grow. Rural and small town growth rates vary widely among the provinces. Much of the growth within rural and small town areas is in the small towns. Sub-provincial data show wide regional differences within each province. The population in larger urban centres is growing faster. Thus, the share of Canada's population living in rural and small town areas has declined to 22 percent in 1996. Newfoundland is the only province with over 50 percent of its population living in rural and small town areas.
Release date: 1998-10-14 - 1,728. Religious observance, marriage and family ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X19980023922Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines the relationship between attendance at religious services and overall well-being, health and marital behaviour, and the attitudes of Canadians toward children, marriage and family relationships.
Release date: 1998-09-15 - 1,729. Effects of the social environment of elderly persons on their socio-economic condition ArchivedArticles and reports: 91-209-X19970004871Geography: CanadaDescription:
During the century now coming to a close, the structure of Canada's population has changed, chiefly as a result of the slow decline in fertility, which has narrowed the base of the age pyramid and broadened its peak. This steady evolution was interrupted for about 20 years by a still-unexplained phenomenon - the baby boom. Between 1946 and 1965, fertility and natality hit levels considered irretrievably lost, resulting in the famous explosion of births.
Release date: 1998-06-24 - Table: 95F0239X1996001Description:
Series Description - The Basic Summary Tabulations Series (1996 Census of Population) provides data based on approximately 75 cross-tabulations of three or four census variables at five very detailed levels of geography. This series shows specific characteristics of the Canadian population considered either as individuals or in terms of their family or household relations, or with a characteristic pertaining to Canadian dwellings. The BSTs provide data based on a 20% sample except for Age, Sex, Marital Status and Common-law Status which are collected from a 100% sample.
These tables are available on diskette and cover all census variable information such as Demographics; Families (Number, Type and Structure); Structural Type of Dwelling and Household Size; Immigration and Citizenship; Languages (e.g. Mother Tongue); Aboriginal Origins, Ethnic Origin and Visible Minorities (Population Groups); Labour Market Activities and Household Activities (unpaid work); Place of Work and Mode of Transportation; Education; Mobility and Migration; as well as Individual and Family Income.
For ease in understanding the five levels of geography, the OLC numbers have related the last 3 digits to reflect the different geographies. See the information below.
**Under Geographic Coverage, we have listed the five geographies with OLC numbers.
BSTs ending with the following OLC #s represent:
001 - Canada, Provinces, Territories, Census Divisions and Census Subdivisions002 - Census Metropolitan Areas, Tracted Census Agglomerations and Census Tracts003 - Canada, Provinces, Territories, Federal Electoral Districts (1987 Representation Order) and Enumeration Areas004 - Canada, Provinces, Territories and Federal Electoral Districts (1996 Representation Order)005 - Canada, Provinces, Territories and Forward Sortation Areas
