22. The Long-term Labour Market Integration of Refugee Claimants Who Became Permanent Residents in Canada
Articles and reports: 11F0019M2020018
Description:
Although refugee claimants seek asylum in Canada for humanitarian reasons, their labour market outcomes play a crucial role in their successful integration, which is why it is important to monitor the degree of labour market success achieved by refugee claimants. This study compares the long-term labour market outcomes of refugee claimants who eventually became permanent residents in Canada (RC-PRs) with those of government-assisted refugees (GARs) and privately sponsored refugees (PSRs), as well as with refugee claimants who did not become permanent residents in Canada (RC-NPRs).

23. Automation and the Sexes: Is Job Transformation More Likely Among Women?
Articles and reports: 11F0019M2020015
Description:
Recent advances in artificial intelligence and machine-learning technologies have fuelled fears of potential job losses among some workers. While the net impact of new technology on total jobs can be negative, positive or neutral, some workers may be more affected than others depending on how easily robots and algorithms can replace them, or how easily their skills complement the new technology. In the case of women and men, it is not clear who is likely to be most affected. This study estimates the risk of job transformation as a result of automation technology faced by women and men.

29. Why are Lower-income Parents Less Likely to Open an RESP Account? The Roles of Literacy, Education and Wealth
Articles and reports: 11F0019M2020012
Description:
The Government of Canada offers various financial incentives for parents to save for their children’s postsecondary education by contributing to a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP). However, RESP participation rates tend to rise substantially with family income, and previous research has demonstrated that family wealth was the single most important reason for this trend (among factors that could be examined). This study explores whether differences in parental literacy, numeracy and financial literacy can further account for some of the gap in RESP participation by level of family income.

30. Automation, workers and COVID-19 Archived
Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202000100033
Description:
Over the past few decades, computer technology has gradually changed workplaces, leading to a reduction of routine and manual job tasks, and an increase in non-routine, cognitive tasks. More recent developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning could be even more far-reaching, as they are designed to execute tasks that were traditionally considered non-automatable.

1. Retention and recruitment of young skilled workers: Results by province and territory
Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202400400003
Description: Since Canada is a vast country with diverse job opportunities available in various locations, some provinces and territories may face challenges and opportunities in retaining and attracting young skilled talent. This article is the first to inform the issue by determining the share of youth who grew up in a certain province or territory and eventually obtained a postsecondary education but left to work in another province or territory. The article also looks at young skilled workers who entered a province or territory to work, as a share of that province or territory’s initial population of homegrown young skilled labour.

2. High school graduation and postsecondary enrolment of Black, Latin American and other population groups: What explains the differences?
Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202400200003
Description: Given the large differences in educational attainment observed across non-Indigenous population groups in Canada, understanding when these differences emerge and what may explain them is an important first step in informing policy discussions on the issue. Using the British Columbia kindergarten to Grade 12 dataset, the Postsecondary Student Information System, the 2016 Census of Population, and the T1 Family File tax data, this study follows several cohorts of Grade 9 students in British Columbia over time to explore differences between population groups, by gender, in the probability and timing of high school graduation and enrolment in academic postsecondary programs.

3. Most prevalent jobs of young bachelor’s degree graduates by detailed field of study
Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202301200002
Description: Investing in a postsecondary education is one of the most important decisions made by people over their lifetime. Understanding the potential outcomes associated with specific postsecondary academic programs may help inform young people, but most of the available information focuses on earnings. While important, earnings say little about what postsecondary graduates are likely to do in their career, which may factor heavily in their decision-making process. This article presents the most prevalent jobs held by graduates of Canadian bachelor’s degree programs aged 25 to 34 using the 2021 Census of Population.

7. Does taking short postsecondary programs or independent credits benefit recently displaced workers?
Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202201100003
Description:
Workers who experience a permanent layoff (a job loss not followed by rejoining the same firm in the current or subsequent year) are often affected financially for several years. Based on the Longitudinal Worker File, the Postsecondary Student Information System, the 2006 Census of Population, and the T1 Family File the study examines the extent to which enrolling in or graduating from short, career-oriented programs or taking independent credits is associated with more favourable post-displacement earnings patterns compared to not enrolling at all.

8. Registered education savings plan investments by family income and liquid wealth
Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202200900001
Description:
Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) are an important vehicle to help families save for postsecondary education. However, large differences in RESP savings persist between families of different income levels, despite targeted incentives aimed at encouraging low- and middle-income families to open RESP accounts and contribute to them. This article documents the differences in RESP contributions between families with different levels of income and liquid wealth.

9. Postsecondary education decisions following a permanent layoff
Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202200900002
Description:
Experiencing a permanent layoff—a job loss without returning to the same employer during the same or subsequent year—can have significant and long-lasting impacts. One strategy to cope with job loss is to retrain. However, until recently, data limitations have prevented researchers from observing the detailed training activities of Canadians who have been permanently laid off. This study aims to address this gap by documenting the detailed postsecondary training decisions made by affected workers following job displacement.

10. Recent trends in Registered Education Savings Plan holdings by income, immigrant status, Indigenous identity and province
Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202200500003
Description:
Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) are part of the suite of government programs designed to encourage youth from traditionally low enrolment groups to consider postsecondary studies as a viable option. Since the mid-2000s, lower- and middle-income parents of children under age 18 have had strong financial incentives from government to open an RESP and make contributions. A previous study based on 2012 data showed that RESP holdings were most prevalent among high-income, high-wealth, and highly-educated parents. The purpose of the current study is to update these findings and to expand the analysis to include results by immigrant status, Indigenous identity, and province of residence.
