In the works

Some of the topics in upcoming issues of Perspectives on Labour and Income.

Immigrant self-employment
This study traces trends in self-employment among immigrants and the Canadian born, using Census and Labour Force Survey data. Differing attitudes of immigrants and natives towards self-employment are highlighted with data from the 2000 Survey of Self-employment.

Immigrant educational outcomes
Making use of longitudinal administrative data, this study compares the labour market outcomes of immigrants who have studied in Canada since their arrival to other immigrants who have not undertaken such studies.

Income with savings and spending among the self-employed
Using several data sources, this article will examine various income, wealth and spending indicators among the self-employed and compare them with the same indicators for paid employees. 

Working low-income families
Using the 2009 Canadian Financial Capabilities Survey, this study will examine the financial situation of employed families living in low income and compare these to non-employed families living in low income and employed families not living in low income.
