- Articles and reports: 11F0019M2004219Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study investigates trends in family income inequality in the 1980s and 1990s, with particular attention paid to the recovery period of the 1990s.
Release date: 2004-12-16 - 2. Social assistance by province, 1993-2003 ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-010-X20040117614Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper compares which provinces have seen the largest changes in social assistance among their population, and which had the highest and lowest rates of welfare use in 2003.
Release date: 2004-11-17 - 3. Postsecondary Field of Study and the Canadian Labour Market Outcomes of Immigrants and Non-immigrants ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0019M2004233Geography: CanadaDescription:
In Canada's federal system for economic (skilled) class immigrant selection, education is treated as if it is homogeneous and only differs in quantity. Some provinces, however, differentiate based on postsecondary field of study. This study explores the economic implications of field of study for each sex, and for two subgroups of immigrants, those educated in Canada and those educated elsewhere .
Field of study is not observed to explain much of the earnings difference between immigrants and the Canadian born, though it is relatively more important for males than females in doing so. Interestingly, while there are a few exceptions, a general pattern is observed whereby the differences between high- and low-earning fields are not as large for immigrants as for the Canadian born. Similarly, social assistance receipt has smaller variance across fields for immigrants than for the Canadian born. Nevertheless, substantial inter-field differences are observed for each immigrant group.
Release date: 2004-10-28 - 4. Welfare Dynamics in Canada: The Role of Individual Attributes and Economic-policy Variables ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0019M2004231Geography: CanadaDescription:
In this paper, Canadian longitudinal tax-based data are used to estimate models of the receipt of social assistance, or welfare, in a given year as well as the underlying dynamics: entry onto social assistance from one year to another, exit from a given spell of social assistance and re-entry onto social assistance after the end of a previous spell.
Release date: 2004-10-25 - Articles and reports: 11-010-X20040087009Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
This paper explores the dynamics of Social Assistance use over the 1990s to calculate annual incidence as well as entry and exit rates at both the national and provincial level, broken down by family type.
