  • 1. From high school, into postsecondary education and on to the labour market
    Articles and reports: 81-595-M2023004
    Description: This fact sheet provides metrics on how young Canadians move from largely compulsory secondary education, into and through their postsecondary experiences and finally onto the labour market. It brings together the latest indicators that can provide insight into these pathways.
    Release date: 2023-07-28
  • 2. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the proportion of youth not in employment, education or training: A regional analysis and international perspective
    Articles and reports: 81-599-X2022001
    Description:

    This fact sheet examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the NEET indicator by exploring monthly Labour Force Survey data, from 2019 to 2021, for youth in Canada and selected OECD countries aged 15 to 29. It explores the impact by age group, sex, province/territory and other characteristics.

    Release date: 2022-10-18
  • 3. Educational pathways of individuals who discontinue their apprenticeship programs
    Articles and reports: 81-595-M2022006
    Description:

    Using data from the Education and Labour Market Longitudinal Platform (ELMLP), this study looks at those apprentices who registered between 2008 and 2010 and discontinued their programs within six years of registration. Their future interactions with the Canadian post-secondary education system, up to 2020, are then profiled.

    Release date: 2022-09-27
  • 4. Persistence and graduation indicators of postsecondary students by parental income, 2012/2013 entry cohort
    Articles and reports: 81-595-M2022005
    Description:

    This fact sheet uses longitudinal data combining information from the Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS) with data from the T1 Family File (T1FF) to explore the association between parental income and the pathways of young adults in postsecondary education for new students in the 2012/2013 academic year.

    Release date: 2022-07-19
  • 5. Is taking a gap year between high school and postsecondary education beneficial or detrimental in the long term?
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202200500004
    Description:

    Following high school graduation, some students decide to delay their postsecondary education (PSE). This raises the issue of the long-term implications of taking a gap year. The main question asked in this study is “Among high school graduates who eventually registered for postsecondary studies, how do the long-term labour market outcomes compare between those who took a gap year (i.e. attended PSE between 12 and 15 months after high school graduation) and those who followed a more linear path into PSE (i.e. attended PSE within three months of high school graduation)?” The analysis is based on data from the Youth in Transition Survey, Cohort A (YITS-A) linked to the T1 Family File (T1FF) and takes into account differences in a very rich set of characteristics including academic performance, cognitive and non-cognitive ability, parental characteristics (presence, education, aspirations, education savings behaviour), peers, and high school fixed effects.

  • 6. International students as a source of labour supply: Transition to permanent residency
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202100600002
    Description:

    International students are increasingly viewed as a promising pool of skilled individuals who can be tapped for participation in the Canadian labour market. This is a key motivating factor for providing international students with pathways to obtain permanent residency. This article documents the share of international students who became landed immigrants across various sociodemographic characteristics.

    Release date: 2021-06-23
  • 7. International students as a source of labour supply: Retention in their province of study
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202100600003
    Description:

    The retention of international students in their province of study is increasingly being regarded as a potential source of skilled labour by regions seeking labour force growth. This article examines the retention of international students who completed their studies between 2010 and 2016 in their province of study after graduation.

  • 8. Enrolment of British Columbia high school graduates with special education needs in postsecondary education and apprenticeship programs: A case study of the class of 2009/2010
    Articles and reports: 81-595-M2021001
    Description:

    This is the first research paper by Statistics Canada using high school administrative data from the British Columbia (BC) Ministry of Education integrated with the Education and Labour Market Longitudinal Platform. It builds upon BC’s Student Transitions Project to answer the questions: Are high school graduates with certain types of special education needs less likely to attend postsecondary education than graduates without special education needs? Are graduates with certain types of special education needs more likely to delay entering postsecondary education than graduates without special education needs? If so, does the gap in enrolment close over time? Finally, this paper will examine whether graduates with certain types of special education needs are more or less likely to enter specific educational qualifications than graduates without special education needs within six years of graduating from high school.

  • 9. Completion of a college certificate or diploma after a bachelor's degree
    Articles and reports: 75-006-X202100100001
    Description:

    This study uses data from the 2016 Census of Population and the Postsecondary Student Information System to examine the characteristics and outcomes of recent college graduates with a prior bachelor's degree.

  • 10. Early earnings trajectories of international students after graduation from postsecondary programs
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202100200004
    Description:

    There is considerable global competition for international students, who are often seen as strong candidates for economic immigration to countries that are facing current and future skills and labour shortages. International students bring extensive economic and social benefits to the host country. This study compares the earnings of international students with those of domestic students during their first five years after graduation from Canadian postsecondary institutions, and investigates the role of various pre-graduation characteristics in accounting for their earnings differences. This study also examines how the trajectories of earnings gaps vary between international and domestic graduates, across levels of education and major fields of study.
