Fifty years of Canadian jewish mortality
No reliable life tables for Jews appear ever to have been published before in either the United States or Canada. This study presents abridged life tables for Jews of the City of Montreal at approximately ten‐year intervals over the period 1920 to 1971. For much of the half century, about one‐third of the Canadian Jewish population lived in the City of Montreal. For the first thirty years of the period, the “Jewish pattern of mortality"—very low …
Canadian Fertility Trends in Perspective
This paper examines the broad movements of Canadian period and cohort fertility over the last hundred years or so, and compares them with corresponding trends in the United States and other industrialized countries. The main movement in Canada was a decline in fertility extending from the nineteenth century to the present time, interrupted in the 1940s and 1950s by a ‘baby boom’. The long decline in cohort fertility is largely explained by the de…

In this paper an attempt is made to devise fairly simple formulae to aid local authorities in deciding between rebuilding and modemising areas of sub-standard housing. The choice is first examined in the case of an individual dwelling; then for groups of dwellings where the average cost of demolition and rebuilding falls as the proportion of dwellings in the area that are cleared increases. Finally, the case is examined where modemisation and reb…

Wilkinson criticise what are claimed to be arguments taken from the present author's book, The Economics of Housing, on the choice for local authorities between renovating or rebuilding decrepit dwellings. The criticisms are grouped under the heads of economic, social and organisational and administrative factors. These criticisms are answered in turn. In many cases it is argued…

Immigration, Excess Aggregate Demand and the Balance of Payments
In this article we discuss a method of measuring short-term effects of immigration on excess aggregate demand and on the balance of payments with particular application to a full or over-full employment, economy. It may well be the case that an apparent shortage of labour in the economy as a whole accompanied by a shortage of goods and services -all symptoms of a creeping iiiflation-is attributable in the last resort to inept monetary and fiscal …
