Description:

Perspectives on Labour and Income is a quarterly journal that keeps you up-to-date on recent labour market trends, fluctuating employment levels and changing work requirements. Inside Feature Articles, you will find reports on income and employment levels; international comparisons; education and training, pensions and retirement, and more.

In addition, every issue includes Forum: for thought-provoking ideas and commentary; What's New: a news bulletin that presents major findings on the latest special Statistics Canada surveys and analytical studies, and Key Labour and Income Facts: a quick reference to over 50 leading indicators on the labour market, income, household expenditures and more. All of the articles have appeared previously in the free monthly online editions of Perspectives. New articles are published online and subsequently appear in the next quarterly print edition. In addition, the print publication will from time to time have adaptations of articles released in other publications. These "reprints" will not appear in any online issue of Perspectives. New articles are published electronically each month and appear in print form, quarterly. You can order individual print issues, or register a one-year subscription for future releases.

"GIS update" tracks a reduction in the number of seniors who are missing out on the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS).
"Pathways into the GIS" investigates the probability of receiving GIS benefits in relation to characteristics at younger ages such as income, receipt of Employment Insurance benefits or disability claims, and the presence of an employer pension plan or registered retirement savings plans.
"Family work patterns" looks at the work patterns of families over a five-year period, and documents differences in these patterns between families with and without children.
"Barriers to training access" explores the receipt of employer-supported training among workers at the low end of the earnings scale, workers with less education, non-unionized workers and women.

Description:

The Summer 2009 print edition of Perspectives on Labour and Income features five articles, all of which have appeared previously online:

"Earnings of women with and without children" explores the earnings differences between mothers and childless women.
"The recent labour market in Canada and the United States" compares various labour market indicators for the two countries using Canadian numbers adjusted to reflect American definitions.
"The family work week" looks at the overall increase in family work hours. The combined paid work hours of couples increased over the period studied, although the average work week has been declining.
"Employment among the disabled" shows that disability can be temporary or episodic, and that the effects of a disability are often felt outside the period of the disability. Individuals with less education, who were women, who were older, who lived alone and who worked fewer hours per year were more likely to be affected by a longer disability period.
"Shifting pensions" examines the coverage of the employed Canadian population by registered pension plans, including defined-benefit and defined-contribution plans, and the increased prevalence of such plans in Canada between 1991 and 2006.
