Poor labour market conditions at the start of a worker's career can result in earnings losses for many years. The 2021 cohort of Canadian high school and post-secondary students have seen employment prospects diminish amid economic lockdowns to contain the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The goal of this article is to predict earnings losses for this cohort. We use Census of Population data to show that a 1 percent increase in unemployment at the time of graduation leads to a 1.5-4 percent average decrease in earnings. Then, using unemployment rate forecasts from various sources, we predict how this year's graduating class is expected to fare. Our approach assumes previous recessions are informative about the effects of the current recession. We estimate that a typical 2021 graduate loses 5-12 percent of the amount they would have earned over the first few years if the pandemic had not occurred.

L’étude réalisée porte sur l’analyse du potentiel d’amélioration des exportations canadiennes et des investissements directs canadiens à l’étranger. Pour effectuer cette analyse, nous avons constitué un ensemble exclusif de données administratives regroupant des informations détaillées au sujet de millions d’entreprises ayant exercé leurs activités au Canada entre 2010 et 2015. Ainsi avons-nous pu, dans un premier temps, étudier la population canadienne actuelle d’exportateurs et d’investisseurs directs à l’étranger. À l’aide d’un modèle probit et de l’appariement des coefficients de propension, nous en avons déduit, dans un second temps, la population potentielle de ces entreprises et avons examiné leurs caractéristiques observables. Nos estimations semblent indiquer que le potentiel inexploité de croissance des activités canadiennes internationales outre-frontières est considérable, des milliers d’entreprises ayant été recensées comme exportateurs ou investisseurs directs à l’étranger présentant un fort potentiel. Les possibles candidates, prises individuellement, sont susceptibles d’avoir au départ un volume d’activités beaucoup plus modeste sur les marchés internationaux, car elles tendent à être exploitées à plus petite échelle que les entreprises dont les activités ont déjà une envergure internationale — dans le cas des exportateurs, moins de la moitié et dans le cas des investisseurs à l’étranger, moins du dixième.

Income support programs introduced for workers during the first wave of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdowns faced criticism for their negative labour supply effects. We propose that these concerns about work disincentives are embedded in restrictive assumptions about work and led to suboptimal design of crisis support policies. We describe a framework for analyzing alternative crisis income support programs predicated on more realistic assumptions of labour markets and human motivation. Our framework proposes that balancing efficiency, equity, and voice objectives should be the goal of crisis labour market policies. We argue that adoption of a basic income targeted toward low-income workers, in combination with Canada's pre-existing Employment Insurance program, would have balanced efficiency, equity, and voice better than the combination of the Canada Emergency Response Benefit and Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy. A targeted basic income would also have been more effective at achieving stated public health objectives.

The recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has required the adoption of precautionary health behaviours to reduce the risk of infection. This study examines adherence, as well as changes in adherence, to four key precautionary behaviours among Canadian adults: wearing face masks, social distancing, hand washing, and avoiding large crowds. Data are drawn from Series 3 and 4 of the nationally representative Canadian Perspectives Survey Series, administered by Statistics Canada in June and July 2020. We calculate overall adherence levels as well as changes over time. Logistic regression models estimate each behaviour as a function of demographic and socio-economic characteristics to identify adherence disparities across population segments. We find a nearly universal increase in precautionary behaviours from June to July in mask wearing (67.3 percent to 83.6 percent), social distancing (82.4 percent to 89.2 percent), and avoiding crowds (84.1 percent to 88.9 percent); no significant change occurred in the frequency of hand washing. We observe significant disparities in adherence to precautionary behaviours, especially for mask wearing, in June; female, older, immigrant, urban, and highly educated adults were significantly more likely to adhere to precautionary behaviours than male, younger, Canadian-born, rural, and low-educated adults. By July 2020, these disparities persisted or were slightly attenuated; women, however, had consistently higher adherence to all behaviours at both time points. These findings have substantial implications for policy and potential public health interventions.

The extent to which elementary and secondary (K-12) schools should remain open is at the forefront of discussions on long-term pandemic management. In this context, little mention has been made of the immediate importance of K-12 schooling for the rest of the economy. Eliminating in-person schooling reduces the amount of time parents of school-aged children have available to work and therefore reduces income to those workers and the economy as a whole. We discuss two measures of economic importance and how they can be modified to better reflect the vital role played by K-12 education. The first is its size, as captured by the fraction of gross domestic product produced by that sector. The second is its centrality, reflecting how essential the sector is to the network of economic activity. Using data from Canada's Census of Population and Symmetric Input-Output Tables, we show how accounting for this role dramatically increases the importance of K-12 schooling.

Abstract:Au Canada, les ententes d'autonomie gouvernementale, les ententes sur les revendications territoriales globales et les accords à adhésion optionnelle (opt-in arrangements) permettent aux groupes autochtones de régir leurs affaires internes ainsi que d'assumer de plus vastes responsabilités et le contrôle des décisions qui influent sur leurs collectivités. Nous avons recours à des modèles d'écarts dans les différences pour évaluer l'incidence de ces ententes sur le revenu moyen et sur l'inégalité des revenus au sein des communautés autochtones à l'échelon de la collectivité. À la différence des chercheurs précédents, nous utilisons au surplus les données du recensement de 2016. Nos résultats semblent indiquer que les ententes sur les revendications territoriales globales haussent de plus de 10 000 $ CA (0,25 points log) les revenus moyens (logarithmiques) des ménages à l'échelon de la collectivité, alors que la conclusion d'autres types d'ententes n'augmente pas les revenus moyens à ce même échelon. Les collectivités qui concluent une entente d'autonomie gouvernementale ou un accord à adhésion optionnelle quant à la gestion du territoire affichent une diminution du coefficient de Gini de 2,0 à 3,5 points de pourcentage en ce qui a trait à l'inégalité des revenus. Les ententes indépendantes sur les revendications territoriales globales sont associées à une diminution plus modeste de 1,2 point de pourcentage. Nous étudions également les inégalités intergroupes pour constater qu'un accord à adhésion optionnelle accroît la disparité des revenus au sein de la collectivité entre les ménages autochtones et non autochtones.Abstract:In Canada, self-government agreements, comprehensive land claims agreements, and opt-in arrangements allow Indigenous groups to govern their internal affairs and assume greater responsibility and control over the decision-making that affects their communities. We use difference-in-difference models to measure the impact of such agreements on average income and income inequality in Indigenous communities at the community level. In comparison with earlier work, we additionally use data from the 2016 Census. Our results suggest that comprehensive land claims agreements increase community-level average (log) household incomes by more than C$10 thousand (0.25 log points). Attainment of other agreement types does not increase community-level average incomes. Communities that attain a self-government agreement or an opt-in arrangement related to land management see a decrease in the Gini coefficient for income inequality of 2.0 to 3.5 percentage points. Standalone comprehensive land claims agreements are associated with a smaller decrease of 1.2 percentage points. We also study intergroup inequality and find that an opt-in arrangement increases within-community income disparity between Indigenous and non-Indigenous households.

Abstract:Partout dans le monde, les caméras d'intervention sont de plus en plus utilisées par les services policiers. La présente étude établit qu'en 2019, au moins 36 pour cent des services policiers canadiens avaient déjà mis à l'essai les caméras d'intervention ou en avaient envisagé l'usage. Les rapports récents semblent indiquer que cette proportion a continué d'augmenter en 2020.

Ces sujets s'inscrivent dans six grandes catégories: le programme d'intégration des caméras d'intervention, les utilisateurs, les superviseurs, la gestion et la conservation des données, la communication des vidéos et les autres attentes. Nous avons produit ce sommaire en mettant en contexte le contenu des politiques canadiennes existantes en matière de caméras d'intervention en relation avec l'essentiel du contenu international (par exemple, les principes directeurs de la recherche et des politiques en ce qui a trait aux caméras d'intervention) et du contenu canadien (par exemple, la recherche, les recommandations stratégiques et la législation canadiennes relative aux caméras d'intervention) quant à la politique liée aux caméras d'intervention. Le sommaire que nous proposons n'a pas pour objet la normalisation des sujets qui exigeraient un supplément de données factuelles ou que la collaboration des personnes travaillant sur le terrain et des principales parties prenantes (les organismes de protection de la vie privée, par exemple) permettrait le mieux de cerner.

Abstract:Dans un rapport récent de l'Institut Fraser, Grady et Grubel (2015) concluent que les immigrants arrivés depuis peu au Canada, compte tenu du faible niveau d'impôts et de taxes qu'ils paient et des services gouvernementaux qu'ils reçoivent, représentent un fardeau fiscal important pour le Canada (5 329 $ par immigrant en 2010). La présente étude révèle toutefois que ce fardeau fiscal n'est important que dans le cas des réfugiés et des immigrants parrainés. Les immigrants économiques, pour leur part, paient en réalité davantage d'impôts et de taxes qu'ils ne reçoivent d'avantages. Il s'agit d'un constat d'importance, car les immigrants économiques sont sélectionnés avant tout pour des raisons économiques, alors que les réfugiés et les immigrants parrainés sont acceptés principalement pour des motifs humanitaires et par souci de compassion.Abstract:In a recent report from the Fraser Institute, Grady and Grubel (2015) concluded that, because of the low taxes they pay and the government services they receive, the fiscal burden of recent immigrants to Canada was significant ($5,329 per immigrant in 2010). The present study, however, shows that the fiscal burden is significant only in the case of refugees and sponsored immigrants. By contrast, economic immigrants actually pay more in taxes than they receive in benefits. This is an important finding because economic immigrants are selected primarily on economic grounds, whereas refugees and sponsored immigrants are accepted primarily on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.

To mitigate the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the federal government has implemented several financial assistance programs, including unprecedented funding to food charities. Using the Canadian Perspectives Survey Series 2, we examine the demographic, employment, and behavioural characteristics associated with food insecurity in April-May 2020. We find that one-quarter of job-insecure individuals experienced food insecurity that was strongly associated with pandemic-related disruptions to employment income, major financial hardship, and use of food charity, yet the vast majority of food-insecure households did not report receiving any charitable food assistance. Increased financial support for low-income households would reduce food insecurity and mitigate negative repercussions of the pandemic.

Les auteurs documentent les tendances dans les déficits de capacités cognitives pouvant être observées dans l’ensemble du Canada. Ils utilisent pour cela les résultats aux tests du Programme international pour le suivi des acquis des élèves (PISA) sur sept cycles, de 2000 à 2018, afin de brosser le portrait exhaustif des tendances dans la distribution des résultats aux tests au fil du temps et dans les écarts de résultats selon le statut socio-économique (SSE) parental. Ils constatent que les écarts de rendement entre les meilleurs élèves (90 e percentile) et les élèves aux prises avec des difficultés (10 e percentile) sont importants et représentent plus de quatre années de scolarité. Les auteurs montrent également que les écarts socio-économiques dans les résultats aux tests du PISA en lecture, en mathématiques et en sciences sont importants mais généralement stables dans le temps. Des variations sont relevées dans les écarts qu’affichent les résultats selon le SSE par province, un indicateur de l’étendue de l’inégalité des chances, mais ces variations sont modestes.
