Les régimes de retraite des gouvernements sont l’une de ces sources, mais leur importance varie beaucoup selon la situation socioéconomique des individus. Dans cet article, nous analysons la variation du taux de remplacement des régimes de retraite généraux (Sécurité de la vieillesse et Supplément de revenu garanti) et des régimes de retraite à participation obligatoire (Régime de pensions du Canada et Régime de rentes du Québec) en fonction de la situation socioéconomique, en nous servant des données de l’Étude longitudinale et internationale des adultes (ÉLIA). Ces données longitudinales nous permettent de calculer et de comparer les taux moyens de remplacement en fonction de la situation socioéconomique. Afin de comprendre les variations des taux de remplacement, nous considérons expressément l’influence de l’éducation et de la santé. Nos résultats montrent que le taux de remplacement moyen des régimes de retraite généraux est de 32 pour cent chez les personnes en mauvaise santé et de 21 pour cent chez celles qui déclarent être en bonne santé. Ces pourcentages passent à 54 pour cent dans le premier cas et à 41 pour cent dans le second quand on tient compte à la fois des prestations des régimes généraux et des régimes obligatoires du Canada et du Québec. Dans une analyse par régression linéaire multiple, avec le revenu antérieur comme variable de contrôle, nous avons considéré les couples et trouvé que le revenu antérieur n’élimine pas les différences de taux de remplacement obtenus en fonction du niveau d’éducation et de l’état de santé.

One source is public pensions. Their importance as an income source varies greatly according to socio-economic status (SES). In this article, we analyze how replacement rates (RRs) of public pensions (Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement) and mandatory public pension benefits (Canada/Quebec Pension Plan [C/QPP]) vary across SES by using the Longitudinal and International Study of Adults dataset. Taking advantage of the longitudinal nature of this survey, we compute and compare average RRs by SES. We specifically consider the role of education and health to understand variations in RRs. Our results show that the average RR of public pensions for individuals in bad health is 32 percent, whereas for those who report being in good health, it is 21 percent.

Ce train de réformes consiste en une transition vers un usage plus intensif des soins à domicile, simultanément à l’élargissement des soins pris en charge par le gouvernement. L’un des éléments clés de la réforme consiste à donner davantage d’autonomie aux utilisateurs et utilisatrices quant au choix de leur fournisseur de soins, par la création d’un compte de soins pour personnes âgées; ce compte permettrait aux personnes qui en ont besoin de se procurer les services de différents prestataires, tant parmi les soins fournis à domicile que parmi les soins fournis en établissement.

This reform package consists of a shift toward more intensive use of home care while increasing public coverage of care needs. A key feature of the proposed reform is to improve users’ ability to choose their provider with the creation of a senior’s care account, an account that allows individuals in need to purchase services from several providers, including both home and institutional care. To improve the neutrality of public support across care arrangements, we also propose an increase in the resident contribution in nursing homes while favouring the continued use of existing tax credits to help seniors with lower care needs. Using detailed dynamic modelling of care needs, living arrangements, and expenditures, we estimate that long-term care needs will grow rapidly in the next two decades, and the costs will quickly become prohibitive under current policy.

However, no systematic empirical test of this hypothesis has been conducted.

These results have important implications.

In Canada, the federal, provincial and municipal governments (as well as other regional and local entities) share responsibilities for regulating noise from different sources, like transportation, leisure, industry or construction. The present review covers policies and regulations developed since the 1970s by different levels of government and shows a fragmented and uneven portrait that varies by provinces, as well as a multiplicity of stakeholders and measures that should be better integrated and harmonized. The current approach to noise, often focused on a posteriori redress and on controlling noise levels, is insufficient to address the wide variety of noise issues. We argue that it could be widened and enriched by (i) a qualitative analysis of the various sensibilities of different people to types of noise and their context, and (ii) planning tools that would integrate sound considerations in the early stages of land development and management practices. Thus improved, noise regulations would better equip different Canadian governmental actors to respond to the high economic and social costs of this environmental pollutant and to the desire to reduce inequalities in population noise exposures.Abstract:Le bruit environnemental–enjeu de santé publique et de qualité de vie–est encadré par différents paliers de gouvernement avec des prises en charge distinctes selon les États et régions du monde.

Les taux de sous-qualification sont plus élevés pour la littératie du français et de l'anglais chez les hommes des Premières Nations, pour la numératie chez les femmes des Premières Nations et pour ces deux compétences chez les femmes et les hommes inuits.

This may be interpreted as evidence of what economists call under skilling, with no implications regarding current job performance, but which has been associated with increased vulnerability to job loss during economic downturns. Estimated under-skilling rates are higher for English or French literacy among First Nations men, for numeracy among First Nations women, and for both proficiency domains among Inuit women and men. Over-skilling is primarily associated with inefficient use of labour resources and reduced welfare. Controlling for demographic characteristics, we find no consistent statistically significant evidence that the odds of being over-skilled—that is, of having higher scores than those within the same occupation group—are different for Indigenous individuals compared with non-Indigenous individuals. In estimated wage equations, wage differences shrink when our over-skilling and under-skilling estimates are added to the controls, but First Nations differences remain negative and significant, particularly for men.","PeriodicalId":56148,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Public Policy-Analyse De Politiques","volume":"114 1","pages":"107 - 91"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81813089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

L'Union européenne a enregistré une diminution des exportations de porc de 556 millions d'euros (9%) en raison de l'éclosion de cette maladie en 2014 dans quatre pays membres. Par ailleurs, lorsque la PPA a été déclarée en Chine en 2018, il y a eu une chute de 30% de l'inventaire porcin chinois et de la production porcine totale. La propagation de la PPA jusqu'en Amérique du Nord semble inévitable. En sachant que l'industrie porcine canadienne est essentiellement exportatrice, une éclosion on de la PPA au Canada peut avoir des effets dévastateurs sur les coûts économiques et le bien-être animal, occasionnés par des fermetures potentielles des frontières et une dépopulation porcine à grande échelle. Pour estimer les impacts, nous avons construit un modèle intégré vertical d'équilibre partiel de l'industrie porcine ontarienne, allant du pâturage jusqu'au consommateur final. Ainsi, s'il y a éclosion dans une zone de production centrale de l'Ontario, nous estimons que l'industrie porcine ontarienne pourrait avoir une perte de 860 millions de dollars (28,1%). Inversement, en cas d'éclosion à l'Ouest canadien, l'industrie porcine ontarienne enregistrerait 198 millions de dollars (6,5%) en bénéfices.

The European Union saw pork exports decrease by €556 million (9%) as a result of ASF outbreaks across four countries in 2014. Similarly, in 2018, when ASF was first reported in China, there was a 30% decrease in the Chinese pig inventory and in total pork production. ASF's eventual spread to North America seems inevitable. Given Canada's export-oriented pork industry, the economic costs and animal welfare impacts of an ASF outbreak in the Canadian hog sector could prove devastating as a result of potential border closures and large-scale animal depopulation. To estimate the impacts, we build a partial equilibrium, vertically integrated model of Ontario's pork industry from the breeding herd through to end consumer. If an outbreak occurred in a central production region of Ontario, we estimate that Ontario's pork industry would experience a welfare loss of C$860 million (28.1%). Conversely, if an outbreak occurred in Western Canada, the Ontario pork industry would benefit by C$198 million (6.5%). Not surprisingly, an outbreak will redistribute significant economic rents in the sector depending on where exactly the first outbreak occurs.","PeriodicalId":56148,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Public Policy-Analyse De Politiques","volume":"8 1","pages":"11 - 35"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81555210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
