Book Description
This paper provides a description and detailed comparison of new data series on job creation and job destruction, constructed using establishment-level data sets, for the United States and Canada. The paper begins with a description of the data sets used and discussion of measurement issues related to job flows. It then examines and compares time-series fluctuations of job creation and destruction in the two countries and disaggregates average annual rates of job creation and destructed by two-digit industry. The subsequent section of the paper develops a simple model of the dynamics of job creation and destruction in order to provide structure for interpreting the similarities and differences in the behavior of job flows in Canada and the United States. The paper ends with basic estimates of the relative importance of country, industry, and year effects.

Small Differences That Matter

Book Description
This volume, the first in a new series by the National Bureau of Economic Research that compares labor markets in different countries, examines social and labor market policies in Canada and the United States during the 1980s. It shows that subtle differences in unemployment compensation, unionization, immigration policies, and income maintenance programs have significantly affected economic outcomes in the two countries. For example: -Canada's social safety net, more generous than the American one, produced markedly lower poverty rates in the 1980s. -Canada saw a smaller increase in earnings inequality than the United States did, in part because of the strength of Canadian unions, which have twice the participation that U.S. unions do. -Canada's unemployment figures were much higher than those in the United States, not because the Canadian economy failed to create jobs but because a higher percentage of nonworking time was reported as unemployment. These disparities have become noteworthy as policy makers cite the experiences of the other country to support or oppose particular initiatives.

Adapting Public Policy to a Labour Market in Transition

Book Description
After two decades of rapid technological and structural change and an overall record of poor economic performance, Canadians need to take stock of the ongoing transformation of the labour market and its implications for public policy. The fundamental changes to the nature of work itself suggest that labour and social policies established decades ago may no longer be adequate or appropriate. Moreover, the continuing perception of increased instability and worsening employment outcomes, and the growing concern over increased earnings inequality and labour market polarisation, have raised serious questions about the role of government not only in addressing the consequences of economic adjustment but also in facilitating or, worse, hampering this process. In Adapting Public Policy to a Labour Market in Transition leading labour market specialists examine specific areas of public policy that have generated considerable attention and debate in recent years. They provide new evidence on issues of utmost concern to the well-being of Canadians and a solid assessment of the challenges and avenues for policy reform.
