1. Using RRSPs before retirement Archived
Articles and reports: 75-001-X200411213132
Geography: Canada
Description:
RRSPs are not always used as a source of income in retirement. This article examines premature RRSP withdrawals between 1993 and 2001, and whether major life events such as marital separation, death of a spouse or job loss affect this behaviour.
Release date: 2004-12-15
2. First results from the 2003 Programme for international student assessment Archived
Articles and reports: 81-004-X20040057736
Description:
This article summarizes the results of the 2003 Programme for International Assessment, providing international comparisons of student performance in mathematics, reading, science and problem-solving.
Release date: 2004-12-14
3. Recent trends in adult education and training in Canada Archived
Articles and reports: 81-004-X20040057737
Description:
Drawing on data from the 1997 and the 2003 Adult Education and Training Survey, this article compares participation in adult education and training in Canada, by gender, age and education.
Release date: 2004-12-14
4. Languages in Canada: 2001 Census Archived
Journals and periodicals: 96-326-X
Geography: Canada
Description:
This work is an updated version of a study published under the same title following the population censuses of 1991 and 1996. The text and tables have been adapted to reflect the more complete data from the 2001 Census, in which the usual questions on knowledge of languages, mother tongue, and language spoken 'most often' at home are supplemented by a question on languages spoken 'regularly' at home , and a two-part question on language use at work, that is, the language used 'most often,' and other languages used 'regularly,' in the workplace. This enrichment of the content has allowed us to expand our analysis while remaining true to the initial goal of presenting in a straightfoward manner basic statistics on the country's demolinguistic reality.

5. Occupational Patterns Within Industry Groups: A Rural-Urban Comparison Archived
Articles and reports: 21-006-X2004006
Geography: Canada
Description:
In this bulletin, each industry is examined to assess the differences in occupational skill intensity between rural and urban Canada.
Release date: 2004-11-29
6. Infrastructure and State Economic Development: A survey of the issues (I-G) Archived
Articles and reports: 11F0024M20040007449
Description:
The state and local government sector owns nearly 90% of the nonmilitary capital structures and 70% of the nonmilitary equipment in the U.S. As such state and local governments are the key policymakers in determining levels of infrastructure investment. Yet as stewards of infrastructure, the states have had a rocky history. Current engineering studies examining the condition of U.S. capital stock suggest that much of it is disrepair and that investments of nearly $1.6 trillion would be needed over the next 5 years to restore full functionality to major types of infrastructure.
Recently states have shown renewed interest in using capital investment in infrastructure as an economic development tool. Popular economic development theories based on enhancing industry agglomeration often find the condition of key infrastructure as a factor in economic growth. While many states accept this conclusion, they are faced with a policy conundrum. Facing tight fiscal circumstances, states and localities are trying to determine which infrastructure investments matter in triggering economic growth. This paper will survey what is known about measuring the effect of infrastructure investment and discuss whether states are asking the right questions before spending infrastructure dollars.

7. Trends and conditions in census metropolitan areas (III-C) Archived
Articles and reports: 11F0024M20040007452
Description:
The report examines income and low income in census metropolitan areas between 1980 and 2000. It examines the situation of families and the neighbourhoods they live in. It also examines the situation of recent immigrants, Aboriginal people and lone-parent family members.
Median pre-tax income rose in virtually all Canadian census metropolitan areas (CMAs) over the 1980 to 2000 period. Incomes increased at both the top and bottom of the income distribution, but tended to rise faster at the top. In nearly all cities, income increased faster in the higher income neighbourhoods - measured at the census tract (CT) level - than it did in lower income neighbourhoods. The incidence of low income was at similar levels in 1980 and 2000, but the demographic composition of low income changed, reflecting rising low-income rates among some 'at-risk' groups, as well as demographic changes in the CMA. By 2000, recent immigrants comprised more of the low-income population, and a greater share of the residents in low-income neighbourhoods than they did in 1980. Recent immigrants had much higher low-income rates in 2000 than in 1980. In 2000, Aboriginal people and people in single-parent families had much higher low-income rates than others and were over-represented in low-income neighbourhoods. The share of income that low-income families received from government transfers rose over the period. The location of low-income neighbourhoods changed in some CMAs, reflecting a decline in low-income neighbourhoods in the city centre and a rise in low-income neighbourhoods in more suburban areas.
The report examines before-tax income in CMAs using the 1981, 1986, 1991, 1996 and 2001 censuses of Canada.

8. Have permanent layoff rates increased in Canada? (I-A) Archived
Articles and reports: 11F0024M20040007458
Description:
This paper examines whether permanent layoff rates have increased in Canada between the 1980s and the 1990s, using data from the Longitudinal Worker File - a 10% random sample of all Canadian employees.
Release date: 2004-11-25
9. Catching up and Falling Behind: The Performance of Provincial GDP Per Capita from 1990 to 2003 Archived
Articles and reports: 11F0027M2004024
Geography: Province or territory
Description:
This paper compares gross domestic product (GDP) per capita across Canadian provinces for the period 1990 to 2003. It starts by examining relative GDP per capita measured in current dollars across provinces and over time. In the second section, growth in nominal dollar GDP is broken down into a price and a volume component to determine whether growth over the period came from a higher volume of real output or higher prices received for the products being produced. In the third section, the relationship between increases in the volume component (real GDP per capita) and changes in productivity or in labour market conditions (hours worked per employee and the proportion of the working age population employed) is explored.
