- 1. The core-age labour force ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610913171Geography: CanadaDescription:
From 1995 to 2004, the proportion of women and men aged 25 to 54 in the labour force grew steadily. However, from 2004 into the first half of 2006, both women's and men's participation rates declined very slightly yet persistently. Is this the beginning of a new trend or does it merely reflect regular fluctuations in the economy? Particular attention is focused on women with young children.
Release date: 2006-12-20 - 2. Education and earnings ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610613165Geography: CanadaDescription:
Between 1980 and 2000, and particularly the latter half of the 1990s, the earnings gap widened between young workers who were less-educated and those who were well-educated. Some research attributes the gap to technological change, which requires a workforce that is more skilled and better educated. The subsequent demand resulted in higher wages for such workers and hence increased returns to education. However, the past five years have seen strong job growth in industries that employ many young people with less education. How has the earnings gap been affected?
Release date: 2006-09-19 - 3. Converging gender roles ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610713167Geography: CanadaDescription:
The division of labour between men and women continues to evolve. Today's couples have a much more equal partnership in sharing financial, child care and household responsibilities. This has been brought about in large part by the expanding economic role of women, which has helped erode the idea that men should be primarily responsible for paid work while women look after unpaid household and family duties.
Release date: 2006-09-19 - 4. Is the workplace becoming safer? ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610713168Geography: CanadaDescription:
As in Europe and other parts of North America, compensation claims for lost workdays in Canada have generally declined. Although this event is encouraging, the rate of decrease may not be uniform for all age groups, industries or regions. Workplace injuries among young workers aged 15 to 24 are of particular interest in this look at injury claim rates in Ontario and British Columbia.

Release date: 2006-09-19 - 5. Increased work stoppages ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610813170Geography: CanadaDescription:
Improvements during the 1980s and 1990s in Canada's strike and lockout statistics appear to have stalled somewhat in recent years. The drop in time lost to industrial disputes at the beginning of the decade was offset by increases in 2004 and 2005. It is too early to say if this is the beginning of a new trend. What can be done, however, is to gain an understanding of recent stoppages by looking at the main areas of dispute, the jurisdictions in which the stoppages occurred, and how they were resolved.
Release date: 2006-09-19 - 6. Unemployment since 1971 ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610513164Geography: CanadaDescription:
Between 1971 and 2005, Canada's labour force became more educated in line with the increased credentials of new entrants, while the aging of the workforce shifted the experience profile upwards. However, this was not reflected in unemployment rates, which were for the most part slightly higher in 2005 than in 1971. What factors are at play? The article looks at specific age-education combinations to yield a more nuanced long-term perspective on current labour market conditions.
Release date: 2006-06-20 - 7. Rural Employment in the Culture Sector ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X2005008Geography: CanadaDescription:
The objective of this paper is to document the nature of culture employment in rural Canada.
Release date: 2006-06-12 - 8. Recent changes in employment by industry ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610113155Geography: CanadaDescription:
Over the last three years, low interest rates have spurred a surge in home construction, and strong world demand has stimulated natural resource industries. At the same time, a soaring loonie has created challenges for Canadian manufacturing. This article examines these three industries, looking at the labour market impact in the resource-rich western provinces and the large manufacturing base in central Canada.
Release date: 2006-03-20 - 9. On the road again ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610113156Geography: CanadaDescription:
Trucking plays a major role in Canada's economy. But because of the sector's steady growth, an aging workforce, and the declining popularity of the occupation, the industry may soon face a shortage of qualified truckers. A recent overall picture of truck drivers based on various sources is presented.
