In an analysis of the short-run sensitivity of the Canadian labour force time series regression results appear inconclusive whereas cross-section regression results suggest a strong negative response to unemployment. Generally, the findings from the cross-section are comparable neither qualitatively nor quantitatively with those from the time series.

This paper explores some of the factors determining the relative magnitude of select wage supplements. While the first section provides some insights into the nature and magnitude of all wage supplements in Canadian industries, subsequent sections are limited to the analysis of private employee benefit plans, their determinants and of their determining factors.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the effect of the structure of collective bargaining on union bargaining power. More specifically, its objective is to determine whether bargaining through employer's association, multi-employer, single (multiplant) employer or single-plant negotiation units has had an effect on negotiated wage settlements (union wage changes) in the private sector in Canada.

Unions have the ability to affect exit behavior through a distinctive collective voice which provides a mechanism for expressing preferences and resolving grievances. It has been demonstrated that workers with a voice institution for the resolution of problems should resort to the exit option less frequently and maintain longer attachments with their companies. A study was conducted based on the 1986-1987 Labour Market Activity Survey (LMAS) longitudinal data from Statistics Canada. Evidence is presented of the effect of unionism on job tenure and job separation rates derived from regressions which control for the effects of wages, pension rights, firm size and other factors. The results show that unionism is associated with significantly lower probabilities of job separation and significantly longer spells of tenure.

New evidence on the relative earnings of visible minority immigrant and native-born paid workers in Canada using data from the 1996 Census is presented. The findings show that labor market disadvantages associated with visible minority status are largely confined to immigrant men. The earnings deficits imputed to minority native-born men and immigrant women are fairly modest, and it appears that native-born women are paid a premium. Among immigrant men, labor market disadvantages are apparent primarily among those who were older when they arrived in Canada. There is some evidence that foreign work experience is relatively undervalued, but there is little evidence that immigrants receive lower compensation for foreign-based schooling. The analysis of individual ethnic minority groups reveals that Black men are most profoundly affected by labor market discrimination. The earnings deficit they must contend with is both significant and intergenerationally persistent.
