Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis consists of three essays on inter-provincial labour mobility in Canada.In the first essay, we explore the concepts of provincial gross, net and share of net mobility rates across education and age groups using the Survey of Labor and Income Dynamics (SLID, 1993-2011) of Canada. Our results show that provincial mobility of young and more educated are more than their counterparts. The share of net mobility rates reveals that young and less educated individuals mostly have one-way interprovincial mobility. Moreover, inter-provincial migration using gravity model shows that the effects of border and population sizes of destination and original provinces have positive influences and distances have the negative influence on provincial migration. We also identify a positive correlation between provincial in- and out-migration in Canada. This shows that provinces that lose more people also seem to attract more people. Our analysis further illustrates that net provincial mobility has a stronger relationship with in-migration compared to out- migration.The second essay examines the effect of local market conditions (LMC) on provincial mobility based on Canadian Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) from 1993-2011. For measuring local market conditions at the provincial level, we consider two commonly used indices in the literature; one is based on employment growth (Bartik, 1991; Blanchard et al., 1992) and the other one is the unemployment rate. Our findings suggest that local market conditions of the original province rather than a destination province play a significant role in triggering inter-provincial migration. We find that less educated and young individuals are more likely to stay in response to increase in employment growth. However, in response to increase in the unemployment rate, less educated individuals are less likely, and young individuals are more likely to move out of the province of origin. To have a deeper look about the impact of the local market condition on provincial mobility we estimate five different frequencies of mobility. This suggests that shorter frequency of mobility provides more accurate picture how local market conditions affect provincial migration compared to census data. We also find that the effect of employment growth and the unemployment rate of the original province on provincial mobility, build up gradually. However, the effect of unemployment rates of the destination province on provincial migration declines over time.Finally, the third essay represents the characteristics and the mover-stayer wage gap of provincial movers. Each year a considerable number of people move across provinces of Canada. Some provinces are losing, and some provinces are gaining skilled workers. However, there are not many studies investigate "Who moves and Who Stays behind." By using Canadian longitudinal data set "Survey of Labor and Income Dynamics (SLID)" from 1993-2011, we find that individuals from both education and age groups prefer to stay in Alberta and British Columbia, and Quebec is far behind than Ontario in retaining above average workers. This study also examines pre-move and post-move wage difference of provincial movers and stayers in the same locality. Our results suggest that the mover-stayer wage gap varies across education and age groups and also depend on the employment status. In analyzing the wage pattern of mover-stayer wage gap, our study also reveals that wage differential between movers and stayers disappears after few years of the provincial move. In analyzing occupational mobility among provincial movers our findings demonstrate that provincial movers remain in the same occupation earn the most and provincial mobility pays, but occupational mobility does not.

Book excerpt: In 2016, the majority of unemployed individuals indicated that they would not move to another province or elsewhere in their province for a job offer. The study finds that the main reasons are the desire to stay close to family and friends, or to take care of relatives, or that the spouse or children would not want to move. The study highlights that social considerations as well as economic ones matter in Canadians’ decisions to relocate for employment. The data come from the 2016 General Social Survey and pertain to unemployed individuals aged 15 to 64 who are not students.--Document.

This book was released on 2012-01-27 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a unique dataset based on income tax records, authors Kathleen Day and Stanley Winer examine the factors influencing the decision to migrate within Canada, paying special attention to the role of regional variation in the generosity of public policies including unemployment insurance, taxation, and public expenditure. The influence of extraordinary events such as the election of a separatist government in Quebec and the closure of the east coast cod fishery is also considered. They look at why we ought to be concerned about public policies that interfere with market-based incentives to move, provide a wealth of information on interregional differences in public policies and market conditions, and examine what other researchers have discovered about fiscally induced migration, culminating in a discussion of the likely impact of various policy changes on migration and provincial unemployment rates. The authors' assessment of the lessons to be learned from their own and past research on policy-induced migration in Canada will be of interest to students of migration and policy makers alike.

Book excerpt: This report emphasises the development of human capital to respond to future labour market needs in APEC and contributes to collective understanding of the synergies between human capital and innovation in fuelling growth performance. In the paper "International Mobility of Highly-Qualified People in APEC", the study argues that highly-qualified people (HQP) are indispensable to an innovative economy. A more innovative economy requires that the labour force include the right number and types of HQPs. However, for some segments of HQPs, the job market is now international, with the industrialized economies in APEC competing to attract individuals with the most in-demand skills and experience. This means that if APEC economies are to adjust to new skill requirements in order to support a more innovative economy, they must formulate policies to retain domestic talent and attract HQPs from abroad. On the other hand, the mobility of HQPs is a necessary condition for knowledge dissemination and absorption in the new global economy. The second paper, "The Development of Industrial Clusters Towards a Knowledge-based Economy", drawing on the empirical evidence from the Hsinchu Science-based Industrial Park (HSIP), finds that human resources are indispensable to the build-up of innovation capability. As an economy develops it may even attract skilled labor from overseas. However, human resources that are repatriated or attracted from abroad are always insufficient to support the operations of an industrial cluster, and they have to be complemented by indigenous skills.

This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelve papers in this third volume of the research program for the Romanow Commission offer a detailed analysis of the governance of health care in Canada from the perspective of constitutionalism, intergovernmental relations, and societal context. In the first section, the authors deal with the formal division of powers regarding health care as outlined in the Canadian constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The second section outlines the strengths and weaknesses of the intergovernmental governance of health care. Finally, the third section focuses on governance of health care outside of the governmental sphere. The theme that resonates throughout the contributions - and which is in itself a call for deeper analysis - is that health care governance has become locked in a cycle of mutual recrimination, blame assigning, and blame avoidance from the federal and provincial levels right down to the level of the individual citizen.

Book excerpt: "In September 2004, the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers established a federal, provincial, and territorial task group of assistant deputy ministers (ADMs) and commissioned the development of the Canadian Wildland Fire Strategy (CWFS). The ADMs created an intergovernmental team of analysts, experienced fire managers, and researchers, known as the CWFS Core Team, to consult with Canadian and international experts, collate information, conduct analyses, and present the findings. This team was directed to assess the current state of wildland fire management in Canada, examine the key influences and trends, and identify possible desired future states and how they could be achieved. This publication comprises a collection of nine reports written by the CWFS Core Team members and their associates. Collectively these papers include syntheses, analyses, and perspective articles that address a variety of the social, economic, and biophysical aspects of wildland fire and its management as well as policy, science, and operational issues in Canada."--Pub. desc.
Download or read book Understanding Employment Insurance Claim Patterns written by Shawn de Raaf and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Placed within the context of a discussion of the principles underlying the present-day EI program, this research leads the authors to identify policy options that are worth exploring further in order to make EI more responsive to the realities of today's labour market, while at the same time addressing potential disincentives and inequities in the current system. [...] This study shows that the relationship between EI and the decision to migrate is complex and depends on individuals' degree of attachment to the labour market, since only those who work few weeks per year were found to be more likely to move following the tightening of the EI program in the mid-1990s. [...] This overhaul took the form of the Employment Insurance (EI) program introduced in 1996 to bring the program up-to-pace with changes in the economy.6 Along with a requirement to reduce program costs, program designers endeavoured "to ensure that the system was responsive to the realities of today's labour market and to remove disincentives and inequities in the system" (HRDC, 1998b, p. i). [...] The 1996 reform represented the culmination of a series of modifications in the mid- 1990s that reduced the generosity of the program. [...] Another important research element was the series of in-depth evaluation studies sponsored by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) in the late 1990s, which provided important lessons in the ongoing refinement of the program.7 The subject matter of these studies was wide-ranging, from the impact of EI's switch to an hours-based system to the implementation of income supplements for.
