Book Synopsis Modelling the Lifetime Employment Patterns of Canadians by : W. G. Picot
Download or read book Modelling the Lifetime Employment Patterns of Canadians written by W. G. Picot and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper utilizes data from Statistics Canada's Family History Survey (FHS) to study the relationship between family-related variables and the movement of Canadians -- women in particular -- in and out of employment. These relationships are explored by expressing transition probabilities as a function of variables such as age, sex, marital status, age of youngest child and educational attainment. The transition probabilities are also conditioned upon the state occupied the previous year, and the duration in that state. The goal is to develop an employment submodel of a larger Lifetime Income and Pension Policy Simulation Model (LIPPS). The simulated employment patterns are compared to the actuals from the FHS.

Book Synopsis Female Labour Market Behaviour and Fertility by : Jacques J. Siegers
Download or read book Female Labour Market Behaviour and Fertility written by Jacques J. Siegers and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1987, the investigation of the relationship between female labour market behaviour and fertility, which forms part of the research programme of the Economic Institute / Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Labour Market and Distribution Issues (CIAV) of Utrecht University, also became a part of the research programme of the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI). Since then, I have been entrusted with research on this topic. In this context, I acted on a suggestion made by Frans Willekens to organize an international workshop, with the help of other members of the NIDI staff and with the administrative and organizational support of the NIDI. This resulted in the workshop "Female Labour Market Behaviour and Fertility: Preferences, Restrictions, Behaviour," held at the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute in The Hague, April 20-22, 1989, under the auspices of the European Association for Population Studies (EAPS). In this workshop, demographers, econometricians, economists, psychologists and socio logists discussed the paths to a truly interdisciplinary approach to the relationship between female labour market behaviour and fertility. Such an interdisciplinary approach requires a common theoretical framework. The rational-choice framework was considered to be best suited to this purpose. As a consequence, the workshop was not only structured by what was studied, but also by how it was studied. This volume consists of the papers presented at the above-mentioned workshop, as revised by the authors in collaboration with the editors.
Book Synopsis Job Loss and Labour Market Adjustment in the Canadian Economy by : W. G. Picot
Download or read book Job Loss and Labour Market Adjustment in the Canadian Economy written by W. G. Picot and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper assesses the labour market adjustment experiences of Canadian workers who were permanently laid off between 1981 and 1984. Such lay-offs could be due to structural or cyclical causes. Data from a special survey are used to answer a number of questions. What types of workers were most likely to experience job loss and in which industries or occupations did they work? What happened to these workers when their jobs were abolished? Did they adjust relatively quickly and successfully, finding new jobs in a short time at the same income level? Or did a significant number spend long periods seeking new jobs and undergo large pay cuts? How many turned to retraining or relocation in an attempt to find a new job? Were there major movements among industrial sectors in the process (say from manufacturing to services), and how did workers who made such a transition fare? Circumstances varied tremendously from one worker to another. Nearly one-quarter of the workers who found new jobs did so within three weeks, while 10% took more than one year. Of those finding new jobs, 55% found jobs paying higher wages, 45% took pay cuts in their new jobs. On the whole, however, these permanently laid off workers fared poorly compared to the rest of the labour force. Their unemployment rate in January, 1986 (the time of the survey) was 25%, more than double the national average. Even among workers with considerable experience in the lost job (3 years or more), the unemployment rate was 24%.

Book Synopsis New Frontiers in Microsimulation Modelling by : Ann Harding
Download or read book New Frontiers in Microsimulation Modelling written by Ann Harding and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past fifteen years, microsimulation models have become firmly established as vital tools for analysis of the distributional impact of changes in governmental programmes. Across Europe, the US, Canada and Australia, microsimulation models are used extensively to assess who are the winners and losers from proposed policy reforms; this is now expanding into new frontiers, both geographically and in terms of policy areas. With contributions from more than 60 international experts, this volume offers a comprehensive introduction to the state of microsimulation internationally, illustrating a wide range of new applications and approaches. It will be of relevance to government policy makers, social policy planners, economists and those concerned with predicting the impact of public policy change and to academics in a variety of disciplines, especially social and public policy, human geography, development studies and economics.
Book Synopsis Job Turnover in Canada's Manufacturing Sectors by : John Russel Baldwin
Download or read book Job Turnover in Canada's Manufacturing Sectors written by John Russel Baldwin and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper measures job change in the Canadian manufacturing sector during the 1970s and early 1980s. Change in the Canadian economy constantly transfers resources from one use to another. Most previous studies have focused on the extent of interindustry relocation. This paper investigates the degree to which employment is redistributed between producing units in the Canadian manufacturing sector because some firms grow and others decline. In doing so, it examines both the job change that is associated with entry and exit and that which occurs as incumbent firms grow and decline. The associated redistribution of employment is the result of both interindustry and intraindustry shifts in relative firm size. In investigating job or position change, the paper focuses on two issues. The first is the magnitude of the adjustment that the economy has absorbed in the past. By doing so, it provides a benchmark against which anticipated changes from such causes as trade liberalization can be measured in the future. The second issue is whether there is a pattern to the adjustment process. Several questions are examined. Is there a normal or usual rate of job turnover? Does adjustment come primarily on the contraction (lob loss) or the expansion (job gain) side? How does the division between these two change during periods of recession? What is the difference between the amount of adjustment that occurs as a result of entry and exit, as opposed to growth and decline, in the continuing segment? How does the process differ in the short, as opposed to the long run? The answers to these questions are then used to characterize the nature of the adjustment process that is normally at work in the Canadian manufacturing sector.

Book Synopsis What is Happening to Weekly Hours Worked in Canada? by : René Morissette
Download or read book What is Happening to Weekly Hours Worked in Canada? written by René Morissette and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines whether the dispersion of (or inequality in) weekly hours worked has increased in Canada during the 1980s. Using data from the Labour Force Survey, this paper documents the magnitude and timing of the changes in dispersion of weekly hours which took place between September 1976 and September 1993. The paper considers inequality in weekly hours across individuals, by gender, and in the main job. It then documents in greater detail the decline of the relative importance of the standard workweek, disaggregating the data by age, educational level, gender, industry, and occupation. It also presents potential explanations for the growing dispersion of weekly hours.
Book Synopsis Unemployment and Training by : W. G. Picot
Download or read book Unemployment and Training written by W. G. Picot and published by Social and Economic Studies Division, Statistics Canada. This book was released on 1987 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Training is often discussed as a principal means of improving the labour adjustment process for the unemployed. But if training is to be effective for particular target groups of unemployed, it is necessary to know to what degree training is actually utilized by the group. That is the question addressed in this paper. Using logistic regression and data from two surveys, the probability of taking training is determined for the unemployed with various characteristics. It is also found that being unemployed increases significantly the likelihood of training. It is also found that often groups of the unemployed who face the most difficult adjustment experiences and the most difficult labour markets are those who are least likely to turn to training.
Book Synopsis Homemaker Pensions and Lifetime Redistribution by : Michael C. Wolfson
Download or read book Homemaker Pensions and Lifetime Redistribution written by Michael C. Wolfson and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been considerable public debate in Canada on the merits of proposals to extend coverage under the public earnings - related pension system (the Canada and Quebec Pension Plans or C/QPP) to homemakers. This paper presents an analysis of one such proposal put forward by a Parliamentary Committee in 1983. The analysis considers both the likely costs and the redistributional impact of this homemaker pension proposal, based on a monte carlo lifecycle microsimulation model. The main results are first that the proposal tends to be mildly redistributive from higher to lower lifetime income groups. Secondly, the proposal is of not as much benefit to women as might be expected - it is almost equal in value to men and women. This later conclusion is the result of the fact that the homemaker pension provision was part of a package that also included splitting of pension credits accrued during marriage.
Book Synopsis The Expanding Middle by : John Myles
Download or read book The Expanding Middle written by John Myles and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysis of changes in the skill distribution of jobs in the Canadian economy between 1961 and 1981 with estimates based on the census distribution of occupations ranked by skill level. Findings are compared with self-reported skill requirements from the Canadian Class Structure Survey conducted in the winter of 1982/3. Occupations are ranked on the basis of training time and skill requirements and indicators are from the worker trait data used in compiling the Canadian Classification and Dictionary of Occupations. The data are samples from the 1961, 1971, and 1981 censuses with the agricultural labour force excluded.
Book Synopsis Behavioural Response in the Context of Socio-economic Microanalytic Simulation by : Lars Osberg
Download or read book Behavioural Response in the Context of Socio-economic Microanalytic Simulation written by Lars Osberg and published by Statistics Canada. This book was released on 1986 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a critical survey of the labour/leisure choice frame-work and its usefulness in analyzing behavioural response to tax and social policy legislation. Micro simulation, once it moves beyond simplistic incidence analysis, must consider the behavioural response of individuals to changes which legislation induces in the constraints which individuals face. Due to its analytical simplicity, the labour/leisure framework offers a useful "first step" in modeling such behavioural response. The paper surveys the existing literature on labour supply elasticities and suggests some working assumptions. It concludes, however, on a note of caution - namely that the single period labour/leisure choice model may be a very poor guide to the behaviour of the "working poor" when confronted with changes tax and social policy legislation -- more elaborate models of lifecycle behaviour are clearly required.
Book Synopsis Consumption, Income and Retirement by : A. Leslie Robb
Download or read book Consumption, Income and Retirement written by A. Leslie Robb and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper uses unpublished Canadian Family Expenditure Survey data on individuals for 1969-82 to estimate consumption and income age profiles for married-couple families, paying attention to the transition between work and retirement. The paper examines the common assumptions of numerical simulation life-cycle models, namely upward sloping consumption-age profiles and dissaving in retirement, and the assumption that the marginal utility of consumption is independent of the quantity of leisure consumed. The paper also demonstrates the ability of the uncertain lifetime model to rationalize the empirical results and evaluates the suitability of that model as a vehicle for policy simulations.

Book Synopsis Good Jobs/bad Jobs and the Declining Middle, 1967-1986 by : W. G. Picot
Download or read book Good Jobs/bad Jobs and the Declining Middle, 1967-1986 written by W. G. Picot and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concern about the impact of a number of structural changes in the economy on the creation of "good" and "bad" jobs (i.e., high and low paying) has surfaced in recent years. It is speculated that the shift in employment to the services sector, technological change, the changing demographic composition of the workforce, contracting out and other effects are resulting in a polarization of the distribution of wages and earnings; that is, more workers and jobs at the bottom and top of the distributions and fewer in the middle. Using data on employment earnings of full-time, full-year workers from 1967 to 1986, this paper examines the degree to which polarization occurs, and whether the changing age and sex composition of work force accounts for this polarization. It is found that earnings distribution has become more polarized for this population since 1967, and that much of it remains after accounting for demographic effects. During the 1970's, after eliminating the effect of the changing age and sex mix, all of the shift was towards the top of the earnings distribution. During the late 60s and 1980s there was a shift towards both the top and bottom of the earnings distributions. In the 1980's demographic effects were less pronounced, but polarization continued and if anything accelerated. The changing industrial and occupational composition of jobs (Eg. the shift to the services) accounts for little of the observed polarization in the 1980s. Rather, a decline in the relative wages of young people is behind much of the observed change, at least to 1986. The degree to which the polarization of the earnings distribution is due to changes in hourly wage rates or changes in hours worked is also examined, and it is found that in the 1980s, both contributed about equally to earnings polarization.
