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.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper uses job turnover data to compare how job creation, job destruction and net job change differ for small and large establishments in the Canadian manufacturing sector. It uses several different techniques to correct for the regression-to-the-mean problem that, it has been suggested, might incorrectly lead to the conclusion that small establishments create a disproportionate number of new jobs. It finds that net job creation for smaller establishments is greater than that of large establishments after such changes are made. The paper also compares the importance of small and large establishments in the manufacturing sectors of Canada and the United States. The Canadian manufacturing sector is shown to have both a larger proportion of employment in smaller establishments but also to have a small establishment sector that is growing in importance relative to that of the United States.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is aimed at estimating the pattern and magnitude of worker and job reallocation, in both the long and the short run, as part of the dynamics of the market economy. It addresses such questions as: Have there been shifts in the relative importance of different sectors and industries? What effects do the exit and entry rates of plants have on the release and hiring of labour? How extensive is the employment expansion and contraction of continuing firms? How important is firm size in the process of job gain and job loss? How significant are worker separations? What is the relationship between form-related job turnover and worker separations? Do `trade-sensitive' industries experience less or more employment change than other industries?.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the dynamics of job reallocation in the manufacturing sector of Canada. It does so by examining the pattern and magnitude of job gain, job loss, and total job turnover due to growth and decline of some firms, and entry and exit of other firms. It also investigates how the effect of cyclical as opposed to structural influences on job turnover have changed over time. Finally, the paper investigates whether the pattern and magnitude of job turnover differ across industries and across regions, and whether the differences are either caused by differences in cyclical sensitivity of job creation and job destruction or in the extent to which restructuring is taking place.

This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study finds only moderate support for the notion that innovative work practices (such as teamwork, job rotation and profit-sharing) reduce employee turnover. It finds almost no evidence that such innovative work practices reduce employee turnover in the Manufacturing sector. However, it shows that establishments in the Services sector that employ a highly skilled workforce and use some innovative work practices, do retain a greater proportion of their employees than other sectors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Firm turnover occurs both because of entry and exit and because of expansion and contraction in continuing firms. This paper develops measures of change in the incumbent population and compares them to the entry and exit process. In the first case, measures of employment growth and decline are used. Rates of change are measured both in the short and long run. Contrary to the case for entry and exit, where the annualized value of the long-run cumulative rates were about the same as the short-run rates, for continuing firms the short-run rates were much higher than the long-run rates. A larger percentage of short-run growth and decline in the continuing sector is transitory and is reversed in the long run. Nevertheless, over a ten year-period, both entry and exit and continuing firm change lead to a substantial cumulative increase or decrease in employment. In addition to measures of rates of change, the dissimilarity index of market shares in 1970 and 1979 is used to capture the amount of change in relative firm position. This measure captures the extent to which market share is transferred from losers to winners. This index shows that about 16 percentage points of market share, on average, are transferred as a result of growth and decline in the continuing sector. At the 4-digit industry level, one-third of all market share, on average, is transferred by both turnover processes over a decade. Finally, the paper examines whether high levels of entry and exit turnover are associated with high levels of continuing firm turnover and asks whether one process is just an extension of the other. It finds no correlation between the two and concludes that the two measures capture different aspects of mobility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper measures different aspects of labor market change that the Canadian economy has absorbed since 1970 by examining three separate measures of change and relating them to one another. The first set of measures examines the extent of employment shifts between industries, the second consists of job-change measures that capture the extent of employment growth and decline as a result of changes in producer employment levels, and the third set examines the size of and reasons for worker separations. The paper begins with a review of recent studies on inter- and intra-industry change and then quantifies some of the pressures placed on the Canadian labor force by change, in a way that overcomes the deficiencies in the reviewed literature. It then presents and discusses the results of the measurements of labor market change in the Canadian manufacturing sector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates structural change at the national and regional level in five broadly defined sectors of the Canadian economy: the natural-resource-based, the labor-intensive, the scale-based, the product-differentiated, and the science-based sectors. The paper examines three aspects of change. First, it traces changes in the importance of each sector over the past two decades. It then examines the amount of internal change within each sector, changes in the importance of individual industries in each sector, and the nature of job turnover within industries. Finally, the paper considers the extent to which wage differentials have widened over time.
