Added Worker Effects in Canada
Nous examinons les effets de travailleurs supplémentaires au Canada à l'aide de l'Enquête sur la population active. À la marge extensive, nous notons que les femmes qui n'ont pas d'emploi sont plus susceptibles de se trouver un emploi au cours du mois suivant la perte d'emploi de leur conjoint.e. La perte d'emploi du/de la conjoint.e n'a pas d'effet sur la transition des femmes vers l'emploi au cours des prochains mois et on ne note pas d'effet s…
The Work Trajectories of Married Canadian Immigrant Women, 2006–2019
Initial Impacts of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Canadian Labour Market
In this study, we review the initial impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the Canadian labour market. We focus on changes in employment and aggregate hours worked between February 2020 and April 2020 while accounting for normal monthly changes in these indicators. We find that COVID-19 induced a 32 percent decline in aggregate weekly work hours among workers aged 20-64 years, alongside a 15 percent decline in employment.…
Health and Capacity to Work of Older Canadians
We address health capacity to work among older Canadian workers with a specific focus on differences by gender and region. We find that in 2012 men would have needed to work more than five additional years between ages 55 and 69 to keep pace with how much men worked in 1976, holding health capacity constant. For working women, the comparable result is only two years more work. Most of these gaps arose before the mid-1990s; since then, employment …
The Differential Impact of Universal Child Benefits on the Labour Supply of Married and Single Mothers
We examine the effects of the Universal Child Care Benefit on the labour supply of mothers. The benefit has a significant negative effect on the labour supply of legally married mothers, reducing their likelihood of participation in the labour force by 1.4 percentage points and hours worked by nearly one hour per week. In contrast, the likelihood of participation by divorced mothers rises by 2.8 percentage points when receiving the benefit and do…
The Gender Wage Gap in the Canadian Provinces, 1997–2014
This study examines the gender gaps in average hourly wages facing private sector full-time employees in the Canadian provinces, using data from the Canadian Labour Force Survey. Over the 1997–2014 period, all provinces have made progress toward narrowing the gender wage gap, though notably little progress was made in Newfoundland and Alberta. Much of the variation across provinces in the gender gap is eliminated once we account for gender differ…
Senior Poverty in Canada
Using 1977–79, 1994–96, and 2006–08 data from the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) and Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID), I conduct a decomposition analysis of senior poverty rates to determine whether changes in seniors’ characteristics can help explain historical changes in senior poverty rates. I find that increases in the educational attainment of seniors significantly reduced senior poverty, but can only explain a small portion of…
Wage Losses of Displaced Older Men
In this paper I provide evidence that suggests selective retirement does not bias estimates of wage losses due to displacement. I estimate the magnitude of hourly wage losses faced by workers who are displaced when over the age of 50. I account for the self-selection of older workers into retirement, which prevents observation of some workers' potential wage losses. The results confirm that high tenured older workers face large wage losses follow…
Are recessions really good for your health? Evidence from Canada
Improving the Labour Market Incentives of Canada's Public Pensions
Dans cet article, nous analysons les mesures incitatives à la retraite imposées par le régime de retraite public au Canada. Une série de stimulants illustrent les diverses composantes du régime de retraite qui motivent les Canadiens âgés à continuer de travailler ou qui, au contraire, les dissuadent de le faire. Nous montrons d’abord que les mesures de dissuasion les plus importantes sont reliées aux prestations fondées sur le revenu du Supplémen…
