Do top executives’ immigration status and multiculturalism perceptions matter? A diversity mindsets perspective
Purpose This study assesses whether cultural diversity indicators – the top executive’s immigration status and management perception of workforce multiculturalism influencing creativity – are related to employer-reported firm outcomes and projections. Design/methodology/approach Using data from a representative survey of 801 Atlantic Canadian employers, this paper conducts regression analyses to test associations between two diversity variables a…
The short-term effects of Covid-19 on labour market outcomes of recent immigrants to Canada
Purpose Given these potential negative consequences, it is important to determine how the unanticipated Covid shock affected labour market outcomes of recent immigrants, and whether it had a disproportionately negative effect relative to the Canadian-born, especially for immigrants in the low-level occupations and in the industries that are hard hit by the pandemic. That is the purpose of this analysis and is a main contribution to the literature…
Worker Congresses in China
We use a survey of privately‐owned enterprises spanning the years 2006–2014 and estimate effects of Worker Congresses on worker welfare outcomes. We find that Congresses by themselves had positive effects on all outcomes except for wages. Firms with both a Congress and a union had large and positive effects on all outcomes reflecting the sum of their separate individual effects, suggesting that they were not substitute institutions but rather wer…
Immigrants and house prices
Purpose This paper aims to dissect myths from realities. It delves into the nuanced relationship between immigration and housing, emphasizing that while correlation exists, causation is not straightforward. By exploring factors beyond immigration driving housing costs and the multifaceted impact of immigration on labour markets and economic growth, the paper seeks to inform evidence-based policies. It underscores immigration's pivotal role in fil…
Macroeconomic Impacts of Immigration in the Canadian Atlantic Region
We simulate the impact of an increase in immigration into the Atlantic Provinces based on the FOCUS macro-econometric model at the University of Toronto. That national model was adapted to reflect the regional dimensions of the Atlantic Provinces. We find robust evidence of positive outcomes for the Atlantic region so long as it is part of a broader increase in immigration for the country as a whole. The positive outcome encompasses higher GDP an…
The Differential Impact of Covid-19 on Labour Market Outcomes of Immigrants in Canada
Based on Canadian Labour Force Survey data, we estimate the differential effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on seven labour market outcomes, and separate between recent and established immigrants relative to domestic-born Canadians. We also use Recentered Influence Function (RIF) unconditional quantile regressions to estimate the differential effects across the distribution of outcomes. We find that the pandemic had an adverse effect on the labour m…
Playbook for Labour Policies for Novel Shocks Such as Covid-19
This article outlines a playbook for labour policies to deal with novel shocks such as COVID-19. The labour-related characteristics of such shocks are outlined, with special attention to whether and how they require labour market policy responses that are different from the conventional policies. Elements of a playbook for dealing with the crisis, as well as coming out of it, are outlined. They include having a first-responder policy team in plac…
Do Immigrants Gain or Lose by Occupational Licensing
This paper studies the effects of occupational licensing in Canada on the earnings of immigrants and non-immigrants. The econometric model is estimated for immigrants and non-immigrants as well as between joiners and leavers from occupationally licensed jobs using a large panel data set. The results suggest that occupational licensing raises wages more for immigrant workers than for non-immigrants with similar observed characteristics. However, t…
Returns to Apprenticeship Based on the 2006 Canadian Census
To study the effect of apprenticeships in Canada, the authors use the 2006 Census, the first large-scale, representative Canadian data set to include information on apprenticeship certification. They find large returns for males with an apprenticeship certification when compared with no degree, a high school degree, or a trade certificate; these returns are almost as high as those to a community college diploma. By contrast, the returns for femal…
For Whom the Retirement Bell Tolls
Data from the 2002 and 1994 General Social Survey are used to analyze the determinants of retiring due to mandatory retirement and the expected age of retirement in Canada. Changes between 1994 and 2002 are decomposed into two components, one attributable to shifts in the composition of respondents and the other to changes in the preferences and/or constraints of respondents. Changing preferences and constraints play a very important role for bot…
Union Effects in Low-Wage Services
Empirical evidence presented in this paper, based on survey data for Canadian childcare workers in 1991, contradicts most stereotypes of the childcare labor market. Although childcare labor was low-wage, the authors find that the union impact on wages (15%) and fringe benefits was in line with union effects found in other, better-compensated work, and they find substantial returns to education, occupational level, and firm-specific experience. Th…

The Effect of Collective Bargaining Legislation on Strikes and Wages
Using Canadian data on large, private-sector contract negotiations from January, 1967, to March, 1993, we find that strikes and wages are substantially influenced by labor policy. The data indicate that conciliation policies have largely been ineffective in reducing strike costs. In contrast, general contract reopener provisions appear to make both unions and employers better off by reducing negotiation costs without systematically affecting wage…

Do Injured Workers Pay for Reasonable Accommodation
The authors present evidence on the extent to which injured workers in Ontario in 1979-88 "paid," through lower wages, for "reasonable accommodation" requirements designed to facilitate their return to work after their injury. The data source, the Ontario Workers#x0027; Compensation Board's Survey of Workers with Permanent Impairments, provides detailed information on two categories of accommodation: workplace modifications, such as customized eq…
The Changing Labour Market Position of Canadian Immigrants
"This paper uses pooled 1971, 1981, and 1986 Canadian census data to evaluate the extent to which (1) the earnings of Canadian immigrants at the time of immigration fall short of the earnings of comparable Canadian-born individuals, and (2) immigrants' earnings grow more rapidly over time than those of the Canadian born. Variations in the labour market assimilation of immigrants according to their gender and country of origin are also analysed. T…

Eliminating Mandatory Retirement
The arguments in favour of banning mandatory retirement namely, to relieve the pension burden on future generations, and to guarantee the human rights of olders workers merit more critical scrutiny than they appear to have received in the current debate. Similarly, one of the arguments against banning mandatory retirement that of opening employment opportunities for youth is ambiguous theoretically and requires further empirical evidence. More at…

Wage-Pension Trade-offs in Collective Agreements
Analyzing 98 matched collective agreements and flat benefit pension plans in Ontario in 1984, the authors find evidence of a significant trade-off between wages and an actuarially constructed summary measure of the expected future pension costs for employers. With respect to the separate components of the pension plans, they find a significant trade-off between wages and the main item that is bargained over-the flat benefit rate-but not between w…

Implementation of Comparable Worth in Canada
This paper describes issues involved in the implementation of comparable worth in Canada, where comparable worth has been instituted in federal employment and in a number of provinces. The Canadian experience with comparable worth has international relevance because of its extensive coverage, its application to the private sector, its integration with collective bargaining, and its emphasis on a proactive, regulatory approach. The paper discusses…

Male-Female Wage Differentials and the Impact of Equal Pay Legislation
EMPIRICAL studies tend to confirm the existence of a male-female wage differential based on sex. However, the proportion of the differential attributable to discrimination differs widely, reflecting the problems of adjusting for differences in experience, education, training, absenteeism, and turnover as well as differences in the occupational distribution of females. In the U. S., studies by Fuchs (1971), Cohen (1971) and Oaxaca (1973) imply a p…

ment funding is further undercut in Chapter Ten. This chapter examines issues of equity and concludes that subsidies to the performing arts are, on balance, income regressive. Chapter Eleven offers West's policy conclusions. He is reluctant to call for cutbacks in government funding of the performing arts; however, he sees the evidence as strongly rejecting arguments for increased 'supply side' funding. Rather, West supports a change in policy di…
