- 1. Who's missing out on the GIS? ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200511013151Geography: CanadaDescription:
The Guaranteed Income Supplement is one of the pillars of Canada's safety net for seniors. Available to those with little or no income other than Old Age Security, it plays an integral part in reducing low income among those 65 and over. However, a misunderstanding of the rules and requirements has meant that some eligible seniors are missing out.
Release date: 2005-12-22 - 2. Building on Our Competencies: Canadian Results of the International Adult Literacy and Skills Survey ArchivedJournals and periodicals: 89-617-XGeography: Canada, Province or territoryDescription:
The International Adult Literacy and Skills Survey, undertaken in 2003, measured the proficiencies of a representative sample of Canadian adults aged 16 and over in four domains: prose literacy, document literacy, numeracy and problem solving, and benchmarked performance against an international standard. The proficiency scores are compared between provinces, territories and nations, and over time. Moreover, literacy performance is examined in relation to differences in variables such as educational attainment, employment and unemployment, earnings and self-assessed health. Analyses of the literacy performance of groups of special interest, including women and men, young adults and seniors, recent and established immigrants, and Aboriginal populations are included.
Release date: 2005-11-30 - Articles and reports: 81-595-M2005035Geography: CanadaDescription:
Potential shortages in specific trades and specific areas of the country are forecast for the coming years in Canada. One particular aspect being examined is the perceived low completion rates of Registered Apprentices (RA). This pilot study follows a longitudinal cohort of registered apprentices, who first started their programs in 1992, over a period of 11 years. The report discusses the quality of, and gaps in, current administrative data available to measure completion rates. Finally, it presents methodological work to highlight pros and cons of different approaches to calculating a completion rate.

In its attempt to measure the mental health of Cambodian refugees in the U.S., Rand Corporation introduces novel methodology for efficiently listing, screening, and identifying households to ultimately yield a random sample of eligible participants.
Release date: 2005-10-27 - 5. A review of strategies for surveying rare and difficult to reach populations in ONS's establishment surveys ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X20040018757Description:
In its attempt to deal with bad frames and measure characteristics that are rare, ONS builds satellite registers from an administrative source, builds up historic information into a panel, or uses filter questions from more general surveys.
Release date: 2005-10-27 - Articles and reports: 11F0024M20050008660Description:
Electronic commerce in Canada has grown from $5.7 billion in 2000 to over $28 billion in 2004. Despite this growth, barriers remain to e-commerce's effective integration into the economy. The authors compare responses to Statistic Canada's Survey of Electronic Commerce and Technology for the years 2001 and 2003. This Canada-wide business survey lists ten barriers to e-commerce adoption and asks firms to identify those that apply. The authors identify statistically significant changes over time and show that barriers are changing, but are not consistent across firm size or industry sector. The authors conclude that policies aimed at encouraging e-commerce adoption must be specific to both firm size and industry sector.
Release date: 2005-10-20 - Articles and reports: 81-595-M2005034Geography: CanadaDescription:
This report presents information on the information and communications technologies (ICT) infrastructure and reach in all responding First Nations schools in Canada. It uses data from the 2003/04 Information and Communications Technologies in Schools Survey.
Release date: 2005-08-22 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2005261Geography: CanadaDescription:
The upbringing of children is modeled as a modified principal agent problem in which children attempt to maximize their own well-being when faced with a parenting strategy chosen by the parent, to maximize parent's perception of family well-being. Thus, children as well as parents are players, but children have higher discount rates than parents. The simultaneity of parenting and child behaviour is confirmed using the 1994 Canadian National Longitudinal Survey of Children.
Release date: 2005-08-02 - Articles and reports: 12-001-X20050018091Description:
Procedures for constructing vectors of nonnegative regression weights are considered. A vector of regression weights in which initial weights are the inverse of the approximate conditional inclusion probabilities is introduced. Through a simulation study, the weighted regression weights, quadratic programming weights, raking ratio weights, weights from logit procedure, and weights of a likelihood-type are compared.
Release date: 2005-07-21 - 10. The Education Services Industry in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 81-595-M2005033Geography: CanadaDescription:
The private, for-profit Education Services sector plays a key role in developing the knowledge and skills of the Canadian labour force. As awareness of the importance of lifelong learning has increased, so has interest in the contribution of private, for-profit Education Services to increasing skills and knowledge, productivity, innovation and competitiveness.
Little statistical information, from either the supply or demand side of the Educational Services sector, is available in Canada. Several federal and provincial ministries, academic researchers and industry participants have expressed a need for more comprehensive statistical information on the sector. As the national statistical agency, Statistics Canada has an interest in filling these information needs.
This report provides an overview of the Education Services sector in Canada. Drawing on available sources of statistical information, it also looks at whether it is possible to shed light on the size and characteristics of the private, for-profit Education Services sector.
The study was funded by the Policy Research Initiative.
