https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/12/staff-working-paper-2019-49/
The number of workers who hold more than one job (a.k.a. multiple jobholders) has increased recently in Canada. While this seems to echo the view that non-standard work arrangements are becoming pervasive, the increase has in fact been trivial compared with the long-run rise of multiple jobholding that has occurred since the mid-1970s.2019-12-19T13:34:31+00:00enOn the Evolution of Multiple Jobholding in Canada2019-12-19Econometric and statistical methodsLabour marketsStaff Working Paper 2019-49https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/swp2019-49.pdfOn the Evolution of Multiple Jobholding in CanadaOlena KostyshynaEtienne LaléDecember 2019EE2E24JJ2J21J22J6J60The Intergenerational Correlation of Employment: Is There a Role for Work Culture?
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/09/staff-working-paper-2019-33/
We document a substantial positive correlation of employment status between mothers and their children in the United States, linking data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79) and the NLSY79 Children and Young Adults. After controlling for ability, education and wealth, a one-year increase in a mother’s employment is associated with six weeks more employment of her child on average.2019-09-05T13:25:53+00:00enThe Intergenerational Correlation of Employment: Is There a Role for Work Culture?2019-09-05Econometric and statistical methodsEconomic modelsLabour marketsStaff Working Paper 2019-33https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/swp2019-33.pdfThe Intergenerational Correlation of Employment: Is There a Role for Work Culture?Gabriela GalassiDavid KollLukas MayrSeptember 2019EE2E24JJ2J21J22J6J62Online Job Seekers in Canada: What Can We Learn from Bing Job Queries?

Labour markets in Canada and around the world are evolving rapidly with the digital economy. Traditional data are adapting gradually but are not yet able to provide timely information on this evolution.2019-06-07T06:00:20+00:00enOnline Job Seekers in Canada: What Can We Learn from Bing Job Queries?2019-06-07Local Labor Markets in Canada and the United States
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/03/staff-working-paper-2019-12/
We examine local labor markets in the United States and Canada from 1990 to 2011 using comparable household and business data. Wage levels and inequality rise with city population in both countries, albeit less in Canada.2019-03-29T15:22:10+00:00enLocal Labor Markets in Canada and the United States2019-03-29Labour marketsStaff Working Paper 2019-12https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/swp2019-12.pdfLocal Labor Markets in Canada and the United StatesDavid AlbouyAlex ChernoffChandler LutzCasey WarmanMarch 2019JJ2J21J3J31J6J61NN3N32RR1R12The Size and Characteristics of Informal (“Gig”) Work in Canada
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/02/staff-analytical-note-2019-6/
Underlying wage growth has fallen short of what would be consistent with an economy operating with little or no slack. While many factors could explain this weakness, the availability of additional labour resources from informal (“gig”) work—not fully captured in standard measures of employment and hours worked—may play a role.2019-02-21T15:25:45+00:00enThe Size and Characteristics of Informal (“Gig”) Work in Canada2019-02-21Inequality in Parental Transfers, Borrowing Constraints and Optimal Higher Education Subsidies
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/02/staff-working-paper-2019-7/
This paper studies optimal education subsidies when parental transfers are unequally distributed across students and cannot be publicly observed. After documenting substantial inequality in parental transfers among US college students with similar family resources, I examine its implications for how the education subsidy should vary with schooling level and family resources to minimize inefficiencies generated by borrowing constraints.2019-02-11T14:03:49+00:00enInequality in Parental Transfers, Borrowing Constraints and Optimal Higher Education Subsidies2019-02-11Fiscal policyPotential outputProductivityStaff Working Paper 2019-7https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/swp2019-7.pdfInequality in Parental Transfers, Borrowing Constraints and Optimal Higher Education SubsidiesYoungmin ParkFebruary 2019DD1D14D6D61D64D8D82II2I22JJ2J24The State of Labour Market Churn in Canada
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/01/staff-analytical-note-2019-4/
The literature highlights that labour market churn, including job-to-job transitions, is a key element of wage growth. Using microdata from the Labour Force Survey, we compute measures of labour market churn and compare these with pre-crisis averages to assess implications for wage growth.2019-01-30T09:45:54+00:00enThe State of Labour Market Churn in Canada2019-01-30
