Unemployment and labour force attachment: a study of Canadian experience 1997-1999
Abstract
This research paper summarizes the approach, methodology and results of a
study of the labour market behaviour of persons in various categories of attachment
to the labour market. The analysis focuses on the transition probabilities for
various categories of labour market attachment. Specifically, the study will
include a discussion of the behavioural differences of the following groups:
a) a comparison of transitions from U (unemployed), M (marginally attached -
wants work) and N (not attached - does not want work); b) a further breakdown
of the transitions from U by active searchers, passive searchers, those on temporary
layoff and short-term future starts; c) a further breakdown of transitions for
M by reason for not searching; and d) a further breakdown of transitions from
N by long-term future starts and other. The study will be based on 1997-1999
Labour Force Survey data.
