1. Determinants of self-perceived health Archived
Articles and reports: 82-003-X20010016023
Geography: Canada
Description:
The factors related to the way that individuals view their health extend beyond physical conditions to include lifestyle, psychological variables and socio-economic status. Change in health status, in health behaviour and in psycho-social factors is also related to self-perceived health.
Release date: 2001-12-13

Geography: Canada
Description:
This study explores Internet use among Canadians aged 60 and over, specifically, why and how they use it, and how they developed their computer skills. It also examines barriers to use.

4. Differences in Interprovincial Productivity Levels Archived
Articles and reports: 11F0019M2001180
Geography: Province or territory
Description:
This study examines provincial differences in productivity (GDP per job) using decomposition and regression analysis. In the first stage of the study, the relative size of productivity differences across provinces is examined. Then, these differences are decomposed into two components - the first is the portion of the difference that arises from industry-mix, and the second is due to "real" productivity differences at the industry level. The paper also examines the contributions of the "new" and "old" economy sectors to differences in provincial productivity. Finally, regression analysis is performed in order to determine the statistical significance of interprovincial productivity differences. The paper finds that British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Quebec do not differ significantly from another in terms of GDP per job after differences in industry mix are considered. Manitoba and the Atlantic Provinces lag behind the others. Most of the difference in the latter two cases stems from "real" differences at the industry level rather than from the effect of differences in industry mix. The Natural Resources sector plays an important role in bolstering the performance of Alberta and Saskatchewan.

5. Patterns of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) Use in Canadian Manufacturing: 1998 AMT Survey Results Archived
Articles and reports: 88F0017M2001012
Geography: Canada
Description:
This report covers the use and planned use of 26 advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) at the establishment level. Additional information on skill requirements, technology development and implementation practices, results of technology adoption, barriers to adoption and firms' research and development activities was obtained from the 1998 Survey of Advanced Technologies in Canadian Manufacturing.
Release date: 2001-11-29
6. Adapt/adopt: Skill shortages and advanced technologies Archived
Articles and reports: 88-003-X20010035966
Geography: Canada
Description:
Two-thirds of advanced technology-using manufacturing establishments experienced some type of skill shortage in the latter part of the 1990s. Shortages were greatest for machine operators, industrial engineers and machinists, with about a quarter of plant managers reporting a shortage in each of these areas. Production managers and computer professionals were next, with one-in-five plants indicating a shortage.

7. After the layoff Archived
Articles and reports: 75-001-X20010105960
Geography: Canada
Description:
This study looks at the results of permanent layoffs from full-time jobs. How long does it take laid-off workers to find a new job? What factors affect the length of joblessness? For those who are successful in finding a new job, what is the wage gap between the old job and the new one? What factors influence this wage gap?

8. Businesses in the food chain survive the turmoil of the 1990s Archived
Articles and reports: 21-004-X20010095953
Geography: Canada
Description:
Food manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers have managed to sustain reasonable returns during the 1990s despite the challenges posed by the advent of free trade agreements and the changing eating habits of the population. This article looks at the returns on investment for businesses operating in the domestic food sector during the 1990s.
Release date: 2001-10-12
9. World trends Archived
Articles and reports: 87-403-X20010015895
Geography: Canada
Description:
Global tourism continued to grow in 1998 despite the financial crisis that affected much of the East Asia/Pacific region. However, the strong recovery of tourism in that region in 1999 helped boost international tourist arrivals at national borders to a record 663 million and receipts to US$455 billion.

10. Canadian travel Archived
Articles and reports: 87-403-X20010015897
Geography: Canada
Description:
With the Canadian economy in solid shape, the number of overnight trips made by Canadians in Canada remained steady in 1999, as did travel to overseas destinations. Despite the Canadian dollar's weakness relative to its American counterpart, overnight travel to the United States was up 5% from 1998.

1. The Labour Cost Index Archived
Journals and periodicals: 71-586-X
Description:
This paper is a response to the requests of Canadian policy makers and researchers to develop a comprehensive index of total labour costs for the Canadian economy. This Labour Cost Index (LCI), which measures both wage and non-wage costs, would be free from the influence of employment shifts in industries and occupations.
This paper provides a review of the U.S. Employment Cost Index (ECI). The paper describes the LCI in general terms and compares this measure of labour cost with some other Canadian labour market indicators. The paper lists some of the uses and limitations of labour cost index based on the experiences of some other countries with such an index. The paper outlines the proposed plans and micro data model to be tested to develop a Canadian LCI. The major milestones and development issues are summarized in the paper.

2. A Report on Adult Education and Training in Canada: Learning a Living Archived
Journals and periodicals: 81-586-X
Description:
In today's emerging knowledge societies, the capacity of labour markets, firms and individuals to adjust to change, improve productivity and capitalize on technological innovation depends in large measure on the skills of the adult population. Improving the stock of skills available to the economy through investment in adult education and workplace learning has therefore become an issue of considerable strategic importance. But how are the Canadian markets for adult education and training evolving?
This report presents, for the first time, evidence on the development of adult education and training in Canada during the last decade. Examined are not only broad trends in the demand and supply of adult education, but also the factors contributing to observed developments. Survey data collected in 1998 allow readers to gauge the current situation and make comparisons over time and across Canadian provinces. The findings indicate, first, that growth in adult education participation has slowed in recent years, and second, that there are major differences between the provinces in who gets trained, and how much.

3. Beyond the Information Highway Networked Canada (Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) Compendium) Archived
Journals and periodicals: 56-504-X
Geography: Canada
Description:
Networked Canada is the first comprehensive compendium to be published by Statistics Canada on the information and communications technologies (ICT) sector. The compendium has been designed as a profile of the information society, focusing on current trends, as well as an historical overview of the growth and development of the Canadian ICT sector industries. The publication contains two main parts. The first provides a statistical overview of the ICT sector on the basis of key economic variables, including production, employment, international trade, revenue and R&D expenditure. A summary of international ICT sector comparisons for selected variables, using recent data published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is also included here. The ever widening use of, and access to ICTs in the home, at work, in schools and by governments is examined in the second part.
Many different data sources have been used throughout the project, and while all efforts have been made to maximize the amount of data available, it has not been possible in all instances to consistently report for all ICT industries and all relevant variables. The conversion to the new North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) has largely contributed to these difficulties, and it is expected that a greater range of data will be available once all of the survey programs begin reporting on the basis of this new industry classification.
