- 1. Skill deficits among the young ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X19980034005Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article focuses on the key factors associated with infrequent use of basic skills.
Release date: 1998-12-14 - 2. Ice Storm '98 ! ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X19980034006Geography: CanadaDescription: This study concentrates on the St. Lawrence River Valley, highlighting how the storm was dealt with and its aftermath.Release date: 1998-12-14
- Articles and reports: 89-552-M1998005Geography: CanadaDescription:
This report presents evidence that literacy is an overlooked socio-economic factor that is an important determinant of health among senior citizens.
Release date: 1998-11-19 - 4. Intergenerational income mobility in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 89-553-X19980014020Geography: CanadaDescription:
Our objectives in this chapter are to determine the degree of intergenerational income mobility in Canada during the mid-1980s and 1990s and to investigate whether it has changed over time. In an era of increasing income inequality within a generation, it is important to understand whether equality of opportunity is preserved, or whether increasing polarization in labour market outcomes will be further exacerbated in the next generation.
Release date: 1998-11-05 - Articles and reports: 89-553-X19980014023Geography: CanadaDescription:
The primary goal of this chapter is to improve our understanding of the roles that family structure and low-income play in the determination of psychiatric disorders, poor school performance, and social problems among Canadian children. While there is broad agreement that environmental factors have an impact on these outcomes, until recently there has been little or no Canadian data with which to assess the importance of socio-economic factors in determining the incidence and severity of such problems.
Release date: 1998-11-05 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X19980023996Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
This article examines differences in fetal and infant mortality by maternal education in the province of Quebec, where the rates are among the lowest in Canada.
Release date: 1998-10-29 - 7. Homicide in Canada, 1997 ArchivedArticles and reports: 85-002-X19980128231Geography: Province or territory, Census metropolitan areaDescription:
Homicide – the killing of one human being by another - tends to receive more media attention than any other criminal act. Governments, criminal justice agencies and the general public have a vested interest in monitoring the nature and extent of these occurrences. Despite a growing concern among Canadians about violence, the homicide rate has gradually been declining since the mid 1970s.
Release date: 1998-10-27 - Articles and reports: 12-001-X19980013907Description:
Least squares estimation for repeated surveys is addressed. Several estimators of current level, change in level and average level for multiple time periods are developed. The Recursive Regression Estimator, a recursive computational form of the best linear unbiased estimator based on all periods of the survey, is presented. It is shown that the recursive regression procedure converges; and that the dimension of the estimation problem is bounded as the number of periods increases indefinitely. The recursive procedure offers a solution to the problem of computational complexity associated with minimum variance unbiased estimation in repeated surveys. Data from the U.S. Current Population Survey are used to compare alternative estimators under two types of rotation designs: the intermittent rotation design used in the U.S. Current Population Survey, and two continuous rotation designs.
Release date: 1998-07-31 - 9. The RRSP Home Buyers' Plan ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19980023827Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article looks at the RRSP Home Buyers' Plan in terms of the amounts withdrawn and the number of participants by age, sex and income. In addition, it considers the number of taxfilers who defaulted on their 1995 repayments and the amounts involved.
Release date: 1998-06-25 - 10. Tapping unused RRSP room ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19980013597Geography: CanadaDescription:
Relatively few eligible taxfilers take advantage of their unused RRSP contribution room in a given year, and they use only a fraction of it. This article looks at how much room has accumulated since 1991. It also examines which taxfilers are using their RRSP room.
