Release date: 1997-12-31 - 2. The Nation : 1996 Census of Population ArchivedTable: 93F0022XDescription:
The Nation is the first series to release basic data from the 1996 Census, providing national coverage. This series covers characteristics of the population, including demographic, social, cultural, labour force and income variables as well as details on dwellings, households and families. Generally the data are represented for Canada, Provinces, Territories and Census Metropolitan Areas. Some tables include comparisons with data from earlier censuses.

The 1995 School Leavers Follow-up Survey re-interview about two-thirds of the respondents involved in the 1991 School Leavers Survey. This article presents updated findings on the education, training and labour market experiences of youths during the first few years after leaving or graduating from high school. (Adapted from an article in Education Quarterly Review, Winter 1996.)
Release date: 1997-06-11 - Articles and reports: 81-003-X19970013090Geography: CanadaDescription:
People with jobs involving supervision, management and decision-making have the opportunity to develop skills that are transferable to other organizations: leadership, communication, organization and management skills, for example. In addition, as supervisors and managers, they may have increased occasion to network with others, which may enhance their opportunity to further their career progression. As a result, in today's increasingly competitive labour market, those whose role in their organization includes supervision, management and decision-making responsibilities may be better able to advance their careers and to recover from a job loss. Results from analysis of data from the 1993 Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) and the 1994 General Social Survey (GSS), indicate that, with few exceptions, education is one of the strongest predictors of an individual's ability to access occupations offering autonomy and authority in the workplace. This remains true, even after the effects of factors that also influence access to these types of positions, such as gender, age, firm size, years of work experience and industry, are taken into consideration.
Release date: 1997-05-30 - Articles and reports: 81-003-X19960043221Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article previews the findings of the 1995 School Leavers Follow-up Survey. The information will interest people in areas such as education or youth employment: policy makers, community advocates, teachers, counsellors, administrators, and young people themselves. Included is basic information about the education, training and labour market experiences of youth during the first few years after leaving or graduating from high school. A comprehensive report on school-work transitions among youth will follow later in 1997.
