- 1. Skills, Innovation and Growth: Key Issues for Rural and Territorial Development - A Survey of the Literature ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-601-M2005076Description:
This report reviews the literature related to the spatial variation of skills and human capital and its implication for local innovation capacity and economic development. The report develops around three major themes 1) skills and human capital; 2) innovation and technological change; and 3) growth.
Release date: 2005-11-15 - Articles and reports: 11-010-X20050088449Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
The purpose of this paper is to analyse geographic income disparities in Canada from the perspective of provinces and especially urban and rural areas. In particular, it looks at how per capita incomes vary across the urban-rural continuum - that is, how per capita incomes in large cities like Toronto and Montreal compare with medium sized cities like Halifax and Victoria, small cities like Brandon and Drummondville and with rural areas.
Release date: 2005-08-11 - 3. A Visit to Canada's Countryside: Rural Tourism ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X2005005Geography: CanadaDescription:
This bulletin examines the number and characteristics of travellers to rural Canada in 2002 in order to develop an initial understanding.
Release date: 2005-07-26 - 4. Provincial Income Disparities Through an Urban-rural Lens: Evidence from the 2001 Census ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-624-M2005012Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
This paper describes per capita employment income disparities across provinces and across the urban-rural continuum, from larger to small cities and between cities and rural areas. Its first objective is to compare the degree of income disparities across provinces to income disparities across the urban-rural continuum. Its second objective is to determine the extent to which provincial disparities can be tied to the urban-rural composition of provinces. The paper also seeks to determine whether urban-rural disparities in per capita employment income stem from poorer labour market conditions in smaller cities and rural areas compared to large cities.
Release date: 2005-07-21 - 5. Social Engagement and Civic Participation: Are Rural and Small Town Populations Really at an Advantage? ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X2005004Geography: CanadaDescription:
This bulletin uses General Social Survey (GSS), cycle 17 data to examine various aspects of social engagement, social cohesion and social participation.
Release date: 2005-06-21 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2005003Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study documents the number and characteristics of growing, stable and declining communities and regions between 1981 and 2001 and puts them into a geographical perspective in terms of the degree of rurality.
Release date: 2005-05-31 - 7. Self-employment activity of rural Canadians ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X20040047777Geography: CanadaDescription:
Self-employment is more common in rural than urban Canada. In 2001, about one in four workers in rural areas, villages and small towns earned at least some of their income from self-employment, compared with only one in six in Canada as a whole. Of course, farming is a key element explaining high self-employment rates in rural and small town Canada. But although farm self-employment remains a key source of income and employment for many, its importance has declined and self-employment activity on the non-farm side has been increasing rapidly.
The forces driving self-employment in smaller labour markets may be complex, but there is no doubt that entrepreneurship is thriving in rural Canada, despite the waning importance of farm self-employment. This article uses data from the Census of Population to describe non-farm self-employment among workers aged 20 to 64 living in Canada's rural areas and small towns.
