Wednesday, June 18, 2003  Perspectives on labour and incomeSummer 2003 The summer 2003 issue of Perspectives on labour and income explores several aspects of non-wage compensation. "Benefits of the job" examines the variety of benefits commonly offered by employers, including medical and dental plans, private pension plans, and others. A second article, "Health-related insurance for the self-employed," looks at benefits from the perspective of the self-employed, discovering that they are less likely than employees to be covered by a health, dental, or disability insurance plan. Recent changes to maternity, parental and adoption benefits under the Employment Insurance Act prompted two articles: "Benefiting from extended parental leave" and "New maternity and parental benefits," in which the response from both mothers and fathers is analysed. "Taking stock of equity compensation" looks at this relatively new form of job benefit, and "Volunteering on company time" suggests that more employers are giving their workers time off to volunteer. These articles have appeared previously in online editions of Perspectives. Rounding out the issue are two updated fact sheets on gambling and work absences, as well as a What's new? section. The Summer 2003 issue of Perspectives on Labour and Income, Vol. 15, no. 2 (75-001-XPE, $18/$58) is now available.
