Further Evidence on the "Monday Effect" in Workers' Compensation
An analysis of data from the Workers' Compensation Board of Ontario reveals evidence of a "Monday effect"-more workers' compensation claims on Mondays than on other days, especially for back injuries and sprains/strains-similar in magnitude to that found in U.S. studies. Because Canadians, unlike most Americans, have universal health care, this similarity across the studies' core results disfavors the hypothesis that workers post-date weekend inj…
Strike Incidence and Strike Duration
The authors use a unique longitudinal data set from Ontario, covering the years 1984-92, to estimate the determinants of strike incidence and duration. Unlike most empirical analyses of strikes, the data set for this study contains both small and large bargaining units. The authors find strong evidence that the likelihood of a future strike was lower among bargaining units that had struck before than among those that had not (the "teetotaler" eff…
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…

New Approaches to Disability in the Workplace
Dispelling the myths about work disability the prevention of disability from work-related sources - the roles of risk management, government intervention and insurance the prevention of behavioural disabilities from non-work sources - employee assistance programmes and related strategies the role of unions and collective bargaining in preventing work-related disability reducing the consequences of disability - policies to reduce discrimination ag…
The Impact of Representation and other Factors on the Outcomes of Employee-Initiated Workers' Compensation Appeals
Using a unique data set from Ontario, the authors investigate the relationship between representation and the probability that a workers' compensation appeal initiated by a worker will be granted. Unlike similar previous investigations, this study includes many types of claims, not just permanent partial disability, low-back, or lost-time claims. Only representation by the Office of the Workers Advisor or by a member of a politician's staff, both…
The Effects of Industrial Relations Factors on Health and Safety Conflict
Expansion of the rights of individual workers to refuse unsafe work and to make anonymous health and safety complaints has met with concerns that these rights might be misused so as to increase union bargaining power or to otherwise harass employers. The authors construct a database that merges work refusals and health and safety complaints with collective bargaining schedules, impasses, grievance arbitrations, and bargaining unit characteristics…

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…
Determinants of Fertility in Urban and Rural Kenya
The continuing high fertility rate in Kenya is of considerable concern as the resulting high rate of population growth makes improvements in living standards difficult, if not impossible. In this paper, the determinants of fertility in urban and rural areas of Kenya are examined through estimation of a probit model which includes variables in three categories: economic, biological, and social or cultural. Also simulated is the effect of increasin…
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…
Can Public Policy Affect Fertility
This paper examines the relationship between a number of government programs and the total fertility rate. Uisng a simple time series model, which explicitly considers the labor market behavior of women, we find that government programs which implicitly alter the costs of having a child have a small, but positive, impact on fertility. The results suggest that during the 1980s, a one percent increase in the real value of Unemployment Insurance mat…
