Using Statistics Canada's 2001 "Participation and Activity Limitation Survey" (PALS) this paper examines the impact of disability on the annual earnings and labour force participation of Canadian men and women. The study's findings include estimates showing large earnings penalties associated with disability ranging from 21 percent for mild disabilities to over 50 percent for very severe disabilities. This study also finds that disability is associated with a 30-percentage point reduction in labour force participation. These estimates of the impact of disability are comparable to other studies for more severe disability but this study's estimates of the impact of milder disabilities are substantially and significantly larger. This difference likely reflects improvements in the PALS desi...

In contrast, Latin Americans who come without English probably take longer to acquire language competence, which is one of the key variables associated with reduced employment precarity.

Underlying inflation has been fairly stable and ranged between 1% and 1 1/2% over a longer period. Growth in the Norwegian economy has been strong. High income growth and high income expectations, combined with low interest rates, have led to brisk growth in demand in the business, household and public sectors. So far, there are few signs of a slowdown in the Norwegian economy. There are prospects that the strong expansion will be sustained for a longer period than previously envisaged. The growth outlook for the world economy remains favorable. Monetary policy cannot fine-tune developments in the economy, but must counter the effects of large disturbances to the econ...
