- 1. Economic integration of immigrants children ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200711013196Geography: CanadaDescription:
Challenges associated with the integration of immigrants often extend beyond the first generation. If children of immigrants experience similar impediments to social and economic assimilation as their parents did, then low socioeconomic status may be transmitted between generations. Such scenarios of second-class disadvantage may not apply to Canada. Even if immigrant earnings deficits relative to the native-born are increasing, it does not necessarily mean that children of immigrants will be worse off than the children of Canadian-born parents.
Release date: 2007-12-19 - 2. Depression at work ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200711113198Geography: CanadaDescription:
Worldwide, depression is the leading cause of years lived with disability. It can affect many aspects of life, including work. In fact, the impact of depression on job performance has been estimated to be greater than that of chronic conditions. In 2002, almost 4% of employed Canadians aged 25 to 64 had had an episode of depression in the previous year. These workers had high odds of reducing work activity because of a long-term health condition, having at least one mental health disability day in the past two weeks, and being absent from work in the past week. In addition, depression was associated with reduced work activity and disability days two years later.
Release date: 2007-12-19 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X200710113309Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article summarizes the design, methods and results emerging from the Canadian Health Measures Survey pre-test, which took place from October through December 2004 in Calgary, Alberta.
Release date: 2007-12-05 - Articles and reports: 81-004-X200700410376Description:
This article presents some of what we currently know to begin to address some of the crucial questions facing Canadians today: Does Canada have enough interested individuals with the right skills who want to work in the health sector? Does it have the infrastructure, capacity, and effective education system to ensure an adequate supply of health workers to meet future health care demands?
Using current major Statistics Canada data sources related to the education of Canadians, this article reveals some important information about what happens before, during and after health education. It focuses on the interest of youth in health occupations, the characteristics of students and faculty in university health programs, the labour market experiences of recent graduates from these programs, and the ongoing participation of health workers in formal and informal training.
Release date: 2007-10-30 - 5. Economic Depreciation and Retirement of Canadian Assets: A Comprehensive Empirical Study ArchivedJournals and periodicals: 15-549-XGeography: CanadaDescription:
This paper offers empirical evidence on the actual rates and forms of economic depreciation for a comprehensive set of assets. Using a Canadian micro database on the purchase and disposal of capital goods from Statistics Canada's Capital Expenditure Survey, the study estimates depreciation rates for 36 asset categories, which represent half of the Canadian business capital stock. Depreciation rates for the remaining assets are calibrated using the average age-price relationship from the estimation and surveyed service lives obtained from the Capital Expenditure Survey. The impact of the estimated depreciation rates on the Canadian capital stock and depreciation allowances is also presented.
Release date: 2007-09-26 - 6. Educating Health Workers: A Statistical Portrait ArchivedArticles and reports: 81-595-M2007049Geography: CanadaDescription:
Using current major Statistics Canada data sources related to the education of Canadians, this publication presents some of what we currently know on educating health workers to begin to address some critical questions facing Canadians today: Does Canada have enough interested individuals with the right skills who want to work in health? Does it have the infrastructure, capacity, and effective education system to ensure an adequate supply of health workers to meet future health care demands? As such, the report is primarily comprised of information tables accompanied by some brief analysis intended to highlight broad findings that may guide the reader in interpreting the tables.
Release date: 2007-08-13 - Articles and reports: 12-001-X20070019856Description:
The concept of 'nearest proportional to size sampling designs' originated by Gabler (1987) is used to obtain an optimal controlled sampling design, ensuring zero selection probabilities to non-preferred samples. Variance estimation for the proposed optimal controlled sampling design using the Yates-Grundy form of the Horvitz-Thompson estimator is discussed. The true sampling variance of the proposed procedure is compared with that of the existing optimal controlled and uncontrolled high entropy selection procedures. The utility of the proposed procedure is demonstrated with the help of examples.
Release date: 2007-06-28 - 8. Payday loans ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200710413185Geography: CanadaDescription:
Payday loans are part of the growing alternative consumer credit market in Canada. These loans are for relatively small amounts ($100 to $1,000) and are short-term, with repayment usually made on or before the next payday. Although the convenience of payday loans makes them attractive, concerns have been raised about questionable practices within the industry, including high borrowing costs, insufficient disclosure of contract terms, and unfair collection practices. Who uses payday loans and why?
