Monday, December 8, 2003 Perspectives on labour and incomeWinter 2003 The Winter 2003 edition of Perspectives on Labour and Income contains five articles. "Family wealth across the generations" examines changes in wealth from 1984 and 1999 using cohorts of similar families from these two points in time. "Finances in the golden years" argues that wealth and not just income must be considered when assessing the financial well-being of seniors. "High-tech-two years after the boom" looks at adaptations in the sector following March 2002. "Seasonal work and Employment Insurance use" explores the many dimensions of seasonality to determine the extent to which each contributes to frequent reliance on EI benefits. "Precarious jobs: A new typology of employment" discusses non-standard work-employment that differs from the traditional model of a stable, full-time job. All these articles have appeared previously in online editions of Perspectives. Also included are charts and tables on work experience and on retirement, a list of planned articles, and the annual cumulative index. The Winter 2003 issue of Perspectives on Labour and Income, Vol. 15, no. 4 (75-001-XPE, $20/$63) is now available.
